[Koha] converting .dat files made with btrieve (???)

[Karl Agee]

getting a little further on my church project of
moving their ancient LHOnline/Librarian's Helper
system to Koha.

The programs data files, from what I can figure from
the documentation, is in three .dat files. I have
those.  Cant open those as they are binaries.

Now, I keep seeing a file called BTRIEVE.exe.  Doing a
little googling I see his is an old database
application that the system apparently uses.  More
googling tells me that btrieve creates something
called a ddf or ddr file whic is a descriptor file.

The program docs dont really tell you what the
database files are....only that is it a delimited
format.  So I gotta fish through the files on the
computer to see if I can find <something> that might
look like a database file.

any insight would help......I'll let you know what I
find.
