Um, a .FIL is not a standard dBASE file extension. Don't know where you got that from. I see some info here: http://www.reviversoft.com/file-extensions/fil Never heard of it and I've been using dBASE for many years. According to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIL_file If it is indeed from the *OLD* Application File Generator, it's just a list of files ... not sure how or why you would need to convert it to anything, as it would be probably meaningless these days.
