GEM> I have an Apple //e with AppleWorks 2.0. When I accessed one of my
GEM> database files, Appleworks replied something like getting errors while
GEM> reading the file. ....
GEM> 3) If none of the above, where can I get info on ADB file structure
GEM> so I can write my own routine to extract the data.

Attached is a BinScii'd/Shk'd copy of the Apple File Type Note describing the 
ADB format:
