 cldump - dumps Clarion databases to text, SQL and CSV formats

Clarion is a Windows IDE like Delphi or others, and has its own (simple)
database format.

This utility can dump these databases to text, SQL and CSV formats. See
the manpage (man 1 cldump, src/cldump.1) for more information.


To build the utility, go to src and type make.


In the doc directory you'll find some technical bulletins from Clarion which
I found on the web when I wrote cldump. They're not a complete documentation
of the database format and contain errors and omissions; they're a good
starting point to understand the file format, but you'll be on your own for
anything advanced.
