Has anyone tried to import this into Excel?  That can be pretty good at
reading databases.  Or MS Access?  Both are often included in various
flavors of MS Office.

I have had very good luck in running DOS programs in Windows 2000.  Very few
won't run, and it's often the Runtime 200 error.  That shows up in programs
written in Borland Pascal when run on a machine faster than a Pentium 200..
There is a patch available to fix most programs except on the newer and
faster processors.
