Hi Folks:Back in 1987 (yes 20 years ago), one of my employment ancestors
wrote a DB in Progress 4.2a.I have been given the task to figure out a way to
extract the data (preferably into excel or Access) with eventual importing
into MySQL. Any idea where I can find an ODBC connector for 4.2a (if one
exists), or how else I can extract the data - text files would be acceptible.
The size is tiny. The .db file is 105kb and the .bi file is 256kb.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it is to be, it's up to me!

I was not sure if I posted my response correctly, so I am doing it
again.

If you have Progress V4, then you can go into the Progress editor and
dump the files using the Data Dictionary dump.

If you cannot get into the Progress editor, I have a copy of Progress
V5. If you send me the database files (.db and .bi), I can convert
them for V5 and then do the dump.

Let me know.
