 HELP: Reading/Converting MS Access 1.1 files

Hello all,

        About a year ago I created several, small MS Access 1.1 files for
use with a VB application I wrote. The application was a written test
generator and the files were simple, single-table (no index) databases of
questions, answers and references etc. The structure of the application was
such that users could modify, add, and delete questions in an existing
database or create news databases as they saw fit.
        Now I would like to rewrite the application in delphi using question
files of my own design. Therefore, I need to include the ability to convert
those Access files. I don't want to include the Borland Database Engine
overhead in my application just to do the conversion nor do I want to
include a VB applet for that purpose. I'd like to try to do this all in
Delphi. I don't know if I'm asking to see the copyright equivalent of the
Holy Grail or the source code for Windows 95 but does anyone know where I
can find out how MS Access 1.1 files are mapped? Am I out o' luck?

Do it the easy way. Write a VB / JET engine program that exports them
to something that is public.
