Hello to all,

- I s there a possibility to write an external program
for example in C that reads the rows in a clipper table,
separates the row's data into fields and writes
it in a text file? If someone can supply to me an
example code or give me a link to an appropriate
site, I'll appreciate it.

The most commonly available program to do this (without clipper)
is Micro$haft Excel.

Borland C++ Builder (at least up to Version 5 and probably beyond) and
Delphi both include the Borland Database Engine, which is easy to
program in C++ or Pascal and can handle dbf/dbt files directly and
without the conversion errors one gets trying to manipulate them in
Excel. If the modern replacement for Turbo C++ Borland gives away has
this support that might be the way to go.
