I am also interested in the db3 index file formats as well as the file
formats for the report format files. 
I checked out one book, something about File formats for pc software, and it
had a little info on the .dbf files, but that was all. I also need the file
format for the report format files. they contain binary values that cause
SCO's version of foxbase plus to dump on itself on machines that are byte
swapped. of course, SCO, has no idea what i am talking about.
