sectokia has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks, has anyone heard of a module or interface for reading Borland Database Engine Database UDF files?

The files I want to read all have magic identifier: 0xBDE01996 (first 4 bytes: 96 19 E0 BD)

The file format looks fairly simply: strings with some binary separators/length components. However I cannot find anything that reads it or even a description of the file format?

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

      Thanks I also found that later after reversing my byte order for the magic bytes. That has been enough info to code a decoder OK.
