Data Extraction

Does anyone know how to extract data without having an ODBC Cobol driver? I have files with these extensions:

.mst
.vix
.let
.acu

I know the data is in the .mst files but I haven't been able to access them. I'm trying to get the data into FileMaker but can work with about any type of spreadsheet, text file, or mdb. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Given the .acu extension on some of your files, these appear to be data files from an AcuCOBOL program. While AcuCOBOL can create/process standard sequential files, AcuCOBOL programs sometimes use a proprietary file system (Vision). In addition to being proprietary, Vision files may be encrypted. I'm betting you need a licensed copy of AcuCOBOL to work with these.

Regards,

Glenn
