Has anyone written a program using Turbo Pascal to read DBase II files? If you have done so, would you send me a sample program so that I don't need to re-invent the wheel. I will appreciate it.

I have used dBase III to create plain files and read those files with Turbo Pascal. I think the way to do it with dBase II is the same. In dBase, give the command: COPY TO <filename> SDF or COPY TO <filename> DELIMITED WITH BLANK and you will have a regular ASCII file to read from. I hope you have already read files using Pascal. If not, basically you should look up the Reset and Read and Readln procedures in the manual. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
