In addition to the above, for KOL there are also two packages for working with DBF files and one package for working with text tables compatible with the MS Access database.
I.TdkDBKOL - the author of Thaddy de Koning, allows you to read fields from DBF files directly, bypassing the need to install drivers, solve problems with national encodings, configure connections, data sources, and so on (if only the files themselves).
II.KOLxBase - ported for KOL by Dmitry Matveev, also allows you to work with DBF files directly.
III.StrDB - by Mike Talcott (USA). This package allows you to work with text tables in files. The format of such files is compatible with the MS Access database (through import and export).
