--------X-PARADOX DATAFILES-?---------------
The data files for the paradox database engine have the following format:
OFFSET Count TYPE Description
0000h 1 byte Number of bytes per record
0001h 32 byte ????
0021h 1 byte Number of fields per record
0022h 1 byte ?Password protected? / other flags ?
- if password protected, 32 more bytes
seem to be inserted.
0023h ?? byte ?????
0058h ? rec
1 byte Field type ?
1 - character field
5 - currency?
6 - integer
1 byte Field length
After that, my information becomes really blurry :-I There seems to
follow the name of the file, and some 0-filled areas, and after that the
"first ASCII character after 0C0h" is said to be the start of the field
names. Each field name is in ASCIZ. The actual records start after the
field names, either at the 4th byte after 00h 02h (the sequence ending
the field names section) or after 00h 02h 00h 00h 00h.
