search for files with the extension .ddf. (file.ddf, field.ddf, etc)

If you find them, download a trial version of pervasive.SQL from
www.pervasive.com and extract the data (many options, but probybly via ODBC
is the easyest)

If you don't have DDFs then you are out of luck. The DDFs contain the
structure information of btrieve files and without them you have unformatted
data (just a bunch of records with unknown record structure).

There are some tools that try to create DDFs by "guessing" the record layout
by analyzing the data, but I would not try it (much work and no guarantee
for success)

good luck
