Extracting DOS DBase III data

by axg . Updated 18 years, 1 month ago

I need to obtain (either free or purchase) a tool that will read a DOS DBase III database and extract the data in a usable form. The form can be electronic or paper-based.

My very computer-illiterate karate club has been using a DOS DBase III system to keep track of a large amount of membership data.

However the system is now getting old and they need to migrate to something more up-to-date and reliable.

Neither the DBase source code nor the original programmer are available, and the system cannot be made to run in a DOS window on a modern windows PC.

There is data in the system that is not printed in any of the canned reports, otherwise I would just do a massive print run and get a team of volunteers to re-key the data.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
