Anyone know how to read "Floder.dbx"?

TIA
Dave

Reading any DBX file is next to impossible. And Folders.dbx more so.

What are you trying to accomplish?

I want to make an application that can read "Folders.dbx",
"understand" the folder structure and store it.
The application would be used to recreate the folder structure
if needed (write to the "folders.dbx" file).
Understanding the format of that file is my chanllenge.

You can't. It is basically the *brain* that keeps the other folders in order
and is needed to import your store folder.

They just changed the URL. The information is still there, but its not
going to help with the folders.dbx file structure.
