>>>There used to be a program that could recreate tables/indexes from a database. GenDBC maybe? I think the source was available also. Could that, or something like it, be used to convert a VCX, SCX and FRX to text and then recreate the tables? Would XML work? Has someone already written anything like this? If not, we are going to try if it seems feasible.

That might help. We really want to be able to recreate the binary files from the text. That way we only have to store the text version rather than the tables themselves in source control. We will always have backups of the actual tables, but it seems like this could be worthwhile to have.
