ANGOSS - A database from way before most of you were born... And I need data from it

Back in the day before Windows there was a office suite called SmartWare were someone built a database application using an ANGOSS database (1995)!

We have now been asked to extract the data from this system! ANGOSS has gone through many hands and now is probably a historic artifact! 

I am looking for the old AGNOSS ODBC driver, or a mechanism to extract the data in plain text so we can process it!

Description=ANGOSS SmartWare Driver (*.db)
Driver=C:\WINNT\System32\swodbc32.dll

I didn't know if anyone out there can cast their mind back, or has access to this tooling!

Any guidance would be great as I have come to a dead end!

 

Many thanks

 

Matt

    The odbc driver should be in the smartware bin subdirectory.

    Alternatively from the Smartware command line you could use File Export Ascii.

    I've worked on Smartware for nearly thirty years, and have an export tool that produces Excel compatible XML spreadsheets from Smartware. Please contact me if you need assistance.
