Btrieve developers could use whatever extension they wanted. These DDF files could also be Btrieve files, but they are not "THE" DDF files that you need for easy SQL-level access. Try a BUTIL -RECOVER on them as well and see if they contain viable data or not. They could also be some internal format the developer designed, too, or even just text files.
Obviously, you don't have the data dictionaries for access via SQL, so the original problem still remains -- you'll need to either build them or extract the data from the UNF files.

Is there any remedy using BTRIEVE.EXE or BREQUEST.EXE?
