I was not sure if I posted my response correctly, so I am doing it
again.
If you have Progress V4, then you can go into the Progress editor and
dump the files using the Data Dictionary dump.
If you cannot get into the Progress editor, I have a copy of Progress
V5. If you send me the database files (.db and .bi), I can convert
them for V5 and then do the dump.
Let me know.
