Convert Condor Database Files

Never heard of it.
(Well - I might have used in 1985 but I can't recall.)

Bottom line is - you need to export the data from Condor to some more normal
format like ASCII text files.
Or dBaseIII files.
Then Access can import the common format.
 
Hi Joe

I wrote with it in the mid 80's - it was one of the few alternatives to
Dbase III,
I had written a classical music library program back then, and now they want
to convert it to Access - for our local Public Radio Station.
Your suggestion would work if they still had the condor program, which of
course they don't.

Somebody has to have some conversion tools that can read the data files.

Thanks
 
Hi Frank,

I'd never heard of Condor till now, but most data files in those days
were pretty simple (e.g. DBase III) so it may not be a big job to write
a program to convert them into text fils that Access can import.

However if you google for
"Condor database expert"
you'll find links - though they may not be current - to a guy who says
he knows all about Condor.
 
Hi John

I will do that google search you suggested - I have found limited info on
Condor on the web. Condor stored its files in .dat format as opposed to .dbf,
but it was a very logical program and easy to work with. Guess it has become
a golden oldy.
 
Did you ever get your problem solved? I may be able to get my hands on a
copy of Condor. I know a consultant (I worked for in Anchorage) who used
Condor in the '80s who may have kept the program disks. If I can find him...
Should I start looking?
