   I have a client that is using an old database called, Nutshell Plus II.   
   The copyrights are from Claris Corp, 1989, and IRIS software in 1990.   
   The database files have a '.db' extension to them.  In the process of   
   moving the DOS-based database to a Windows machine where it could be   
   backed up and possibly upgraded to a newer database, it became   
   corrupted.  As dumbfounded as I was that this happened, it was more   
   surprising that there was no backup, and that the customer has about 90%   
   of his data in this database.  The utilities that came with the   
   software, NUTUTILS, did nothing to help the matter.  I was able to find   
   an older version of the database, about 8 months old, but at least it   
   was something.  Does anyone know if there is a utility that can repair   
   this database?  Is it possible to upgrade this database to a version   
   that would bring it into the 21st Century?  I did some research and   
   found that Nutshell was closely related to the earliest versions of   
   Filemaker, though I believe it was only for the MAC.  Do you think an   
   old version of Filemaker and/or a database such as dBase III would be   
   able to import/convert the data from Nutshell?  Any help would be   
   appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
