I've been handed a Paradox app with over 277 tables. And I trying to
familarize myself with finding which tables contain what fields. I'd like to
create a master database containing all fields, and tablenames, and
datatypes.. I'd like a script or something to read ALL tables in a
directory, and fill this master database with all the necessary info.

1 Record Example:

Table_Name - employee
FieldName - FirstName
DataType - Alpha[25]

I have no experience with OPAL.. But I figured I can't be the first
programmer handed a paradox database to maintain.. So I'm hoping someone has
a script or something that does this, and is willing to share his
experience.
