>If you create a table whose layout matches the structure above (including each element of the time_t structure), you can read the data using append IF there is a newline character at the end of each record. Otherwise you can use fopen/fgets (almost identical to the c versions) to read each item and append blank/replace to populate the table. You will need to do some conversion work on the time_t and uint values to convert to strings (FoxPro will need '42' instead of integer 42 to read in a numeric field - this is simple enough).


Also, be careful when converting float, you will have to do it step by
step (I mean, bit by bit).
