[Apologies if this has been asked before]

Does anyone out there have any details on DCA file format. This seems to
be commonly used as an export/import format by many PC applications, but I have
yet to find a source of the specification.

Looking at files generated, they appear to be in EBCDIC, but the format is
far from obvious.

Any pointers to online files, books, source code, etc would be much
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Andrew.
