   How do you know they're Paradox files?  Lots of file formats use .DB as   
   an extension.  If in addition to seeing .db, you see one of the   
   extensions listed below, there's a better chance the files are Paradox:   
   .px   
   .mb   
   .val   
   .tv   
   .fam   
   .x0?   
   .y0?   
   .xg?   
   .yg?   
      
   If none of these file extensions are used, there's a chance the files   
   aren't Paradox at all.   
      
   If they are Paradox, the easiest way to convert them into something else   
   is to use Paradox.  You wouldn't need to be a programmer - just File >   
   Export and use the wizard.
