    Please sir! Just the files! They are small and should be easy to send via email.

    I think you may be making things too difficult on yourself. I just need a sample to determine their actual format. The ones you show in your screen-shot would suffice.

    joshua.buker@gmail.com if you are so inclined.

    Also curious about the .inf file.

    Best Regards,

    Josh

    Here's what I get when I open that CINFO thing-


    OK, if I can figure out how to email those files, I'll do it.

    Josh, I sent you the three CDB files for 1999 from my Hotmail account. It said I couldn't send the CINFO file extension for my protection and yours.

    I'm goin' to bed now. This stuff is givin' me a headache and I haven't even started entering VINs yet!!!

    The files I were sent look like they are actualy compiled by Borland C++. I do not have a decompiler for them. (tho I have not looked for one very hard either)

    I honestly do not think those are the files I need however. First off, its very odd to have actual data files compiled, programs that read the data files are most often compiled, but not the data itself.

    I found the Cinfo file much more interesting because it mentions several database files that are more likely to be the data we need. In particular opcode.dbf, vinmstr.dbf all sound like they are the raw data, tho there may also be more.


    I'm afraid I'd really need the whole disc to reverse engineer exactly whats going on with it tho.

    Doesn't sound like this is going anywhere anytime soon then, unless Mark is prepared to FedEx you a copy of the CD.

    Thanks for the help. For now I'm gonna just stick to my original plan of trying to find some local help opening the files. It probably won't happen for quite a while. Of course, I'll let ya know if there's any breaking news.

    So it's seriously less trouble to search for a local guy sometime in the future than to upload it to Grif now and let him give it a crack? Doesn't make sense to me but obviously you own the information so you get to see fit how to (or not) distribute it.

    Mark, when you get around to it maybe these guys can help. Some of them do large-scale data recovery/extraction work for businesses, so maybe they would even help you out for free if it was just a single CD that needed extraction/decryption.

    Thanks for that list. That'll help get me started. You see, I'm kinda busy with outdoor activities during the warmer months. Today, for instance, I gotta get dressed and do a couple things and then head over to the Catskills for some flyfishing til dark.

    I'm not that interested right now 'cuz the list of VIN's may reveal nothing new. Maybe it'll show 4153 VIN's and we now have a production list of 4153. It needs to show 4166 VIN's like Isuzu said they sold. Then I could get a new, official, 100% accurate list of model years and int/ext colors. We'll see.
