I don't believe the commercial folks in genealogy software make their
file formats available.  You would probably have to inspect the files 
to figure it out.  The PAF file format is available from the LDS.  TRACER
file format is the same as PAF version 1.  ON DISPLAY is written in Basic 
and the source code distributed so you could get the format from the code.
On the others Family Ties, Family Research Manager, Family History,
Family Tree, and Progenitor you would have to check the documentation.  I 
have info on all those on ROOTS-BBS if you want to pursue it.  OR you might
find some of them on your local bbs.
