https://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1733580I see two ways.
Try to learn the format by stuffing data to MEM files, could not be very tricky coded. This is old stuff from the 80s. Possibly your doc is of help.
Ask Chen, the VFPA guy at
http://baiyujia.com/ ccb2000@163.com, he understands the VFP code, so possibly he can hand you the assembler doing the stuff, or even generate something readable.
As long as you need to do it over and over it is generated over and over on WINDOWS anyway (or it would not make sense). So try a new VFP9 app running alongside your app, that watches the MEM files for change (EVENTBINDING) that just read the stuff and export it to something readable. Import this.
