      Aha!  Then you want to contact Jeff Harrison and ask him if he is
still selling his JHExport product.  It is VERY inexpensive and will write a
"file-dump" table for all 100 of your files in less time than it takes you
to write a single dump table yourself!

     I will forward the last contact info I had for Jeff to you privately...
