The dBase data format is well published and it is relatively easy to 
write a routine that reads it. I can upload a Pascal routine for your 
perusal if you need it.
The Paradox Engine is available from Borland with functions to include in 
C and Pascal programs to read Paradox (DOS) tables. Unfortunately it is 
not public domain.
