*.wkz database conversion to Access?

Hello!
I have a important database in *.wkz format that I need to open. I am
completely new to Informix and I am assuming *.wkz
is a Infromix database. Are there any filters available? Any ideas?

Best Regards
Matthew

That is not an Informix database file. If memory serves, and it has
been a while, that is a Wingz spreadsheet file. Perhaps excel knows
how to convert it to something useful if you no longer have Wingz.

I don't know of any Informix database that has that extension. Our
database has a .dbs extension with the tables having .dat extensions.
However I have found that MS Access is a great tool for opening
databases. If you can view the layout of the .wkz file, use the import
function in MS Access with the parameters set to read that file.

Yes, *.wkz is a WingZ file.
