Goldmine over BDE - mailbox too large - how to pare down?

Got a client running Goldmine on the included BDE database engine.  Their mailbox database memo file is nearly 2GB and needs to be pared down.  What tool can I use to get into that database (including the monster memo file) and archive off about half of the records?

I tried using FoxPro, MS Access with an ODBC connector - nothing seems to work.  Any tips?

Thanks in advance!

There should be some *.?DX files in the data directory.  What extension are these files?  If MDX then try Dbase4.

I try that through Access and even though a massive .fpt files is there, it give me "Cannot locate the requested Xbase memo file."
