"MDB Decompiler is a simple tool used to decompile a Microsoft Access
mdb file (A97 or A2000). Typically, an Access database grows over time
due to updates, deletes, and additions. With updates and deletes, data
is discarded but not removed. Typically, a compact database operation
will remove cleanup and remove this extraneous data."

"Microsoft Access databases can become corrupt to the point that a
standard repair or compact will not fix the problem. MDB files this
badly damaged can only be fixed with a compact-repair-compact cycle.
Some MDB files may be even worse, to the point that they will
continually re-corrupt unless you rebuild all objects by exporting them
all into a blank database, finishing with another compact. MDB Repair

in XBase have caused as much consternation as any other "feature" of
the language. It's a unique situation in which a networking problem has
caused the program to lock up between the time a record is written and
the header is updated. It's so prevalent that Visual FoxPro 5.0 now
AUTOMATICALLY performs fixes of the header. However, versions prior to
that don't, so I wrote this. It's an interactive data file
scanner/fixer that will repair broken headers and allow you to BROWSE
the broken file PRIOR to fixing it! In addition, it will analyze the
damage and will refuse to "repair" a file that is broken in some way
other than having a broken header (if this is the case it will suggest
the proper utility to use to fix the problem!)"

version 2.5 was introduced, there was a utility called the

was not compatible with the LIM expanded memory that we had to use
under Alloy's operating system. So, the "reverse transporter" was born.

one of the most frustrating and flat-out weird problems I've run into
yet. There are cases where the data in DBF files can be shifted out of
their fields. The data in the record is actually rotated a number of

rotation occurs on a byte level, without regard to the data types of
the fields in the affected record. The damage occurs to specific
records, not all records in the file."

++CHK File Identifiers++
* http://www.ericphelps.com
any time a program or Windows crashes, any files that were open are not
closed properly. Part of closing is writing all the file location
information in all the right places. Without this info, Windows can't
find all the parts of the file. When SCANDISK or CHKDISK is run, all
the parts are identified as "lost file fragments" and converted (if
you want) into CHK files. Face it. Stuff crashes all the time. If you
only run SCANDISK once a month, you get a month's worth of old crash
junk. If you were working on (and lost) something important just before
a crash, you might want to try to recover any data from any CHK files
that exist. On the other hand, if you aren't in a state of panic over
lost data, just delete any CHK files. A handy tip: Keep your disk
defragmented. That way if you ever do lose it all, the lost file
fragments will be more likely to be complete files. Important: Save
yourself some trouble. The CHK file recovery programs offered here do
not "recover" files. They simply rename them to have the correct
extension!"
* http://www.diydatarecovery.nl
the contents of the CHK files and determine if the contents are known
file types, such as MS-Word files or GIF files. When contents are
recognized (for example, as a Word document), the CHK files are copied
to a new file with the correct file extension (Filexxxx.CHK ->
Filexxxx.DOC). The new file extension allows you to easily open the
file using the associated program."
