The original set of files is produced with Borland Paradox using a relational database
model consisting of a dozen DB-files and several dozen more auxiliary files.
All data put into a single DB-file fills just under 5MB. Only a selection of fields is
made public in any released dBase-file.
The published text-versions of BDC are produced using Borland Quattro Pro as
speadsheet and WordPerfect as word-processor.
Anyone interested in more detailed data should contact me (e.g through e-mail). Other chart-related files
may also be available.
I use a 486DX2-66 PC with 16MB RAM and OS/2 WARP 3.
