Hello peoples,
I've got a small application that stores the application data in some files, they seem to be in a group of three (I assume DAT is DATA, NDX some INDEX, and DIA? No idea) This type of format predates my computer experince, so I wonder if there's any older (cough; I mean "experienced") people out there that could help identify the format and most importantly how I might use B4J to read and hopefully write to the file structure. I've attached a sample of the files (zipped).
The best idea I have so far is from analsying the program executable with TRID (https://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html) RESULTS:
83.3% (.EXE) Win32 Executable Borland Delphi 5 (451463/56/28)
7.9% (.EXE) InstallShield setup (43053/19/16)
2.6% (.EXE) Win32 Executable Delphi generic (14182/79/4)
1.9% (.EXE) Win64 Executable (generic) (10523/12/4)
1.8% (.EXE) DOS Borland compiled Executable (generic) (10000/1/2)
Thanks for any help.
(I've been reading the forum and playing with B4J for about a year.... Loving it as a replacment for VB6 and MS Access! Thanks Erel)
