Go to http://groups.google.com and search for
access uninformative nutshell database
and you'll find what I managed to learn the last time this question came
up.
Boy you are going back a few years! Nutshell was a database put out by a
long-gone company called 'Leading Edge'. They actually used to make PCs. They
also had a work processor called 'Leading Edge'. This all worked under DOS.
There was no Windows back then. You will need a copy of the database and it
is probably only available on 5.25 floppies so you'll need an old PC that has
a 5.25" and a 3.5" drive. There should be an option to save the data in text
format or maybe you can print the data to a file and convert that to text.
Good luck - you will need it.
