I'm trying to read the tables structure and data of a couple of *.dat and *.idx files. I don't know what DB are they created with - I tried diffrent db managers but noone recognized them. Some file examples are here (http://greendrake.info/db2read.rar) (rar archive 304 kb).
Any help much appreciated.

these might be linux/unix database files.

Probably either FoxPro or dBase with those extensions although .dat could be anything at all.

Hi,

I am having the same problem what Greendrake had but one thing in my case I know for sure that .dat files are the video files,
but I have bulk of video files for each day in calendar with many .idx files and I wan't to know how to read that idx files so that I can know which file belongs to what day.

Thankx in advance
