Need to identify some database files used by a PC COBOL program
written in the mid-90's. The extensions are .DB and .IDX. Given the
date, language and OS, are there any candidates you can think of? I
can send a sample of the files if that would help.

Thanks,
Jim

Find someone who has demonstrable experience in that particular sub-set of
the discipline. Verify the references you are given. Agree on a rate and
let the job be done.

(You *do* realise that retaining this kind of knowledge is how some folks
make their livings, right?)

Wow, DD, thanks, that was so helpful. Makes me regret all the time
I've spent in the past answering questions on newsgroups for free when
I could have just told them to hire someone!

I've already Google'd various combinations. Is there a specific hit
in that search that would help with this question?

Thanks.
