There used to be a library that did that - see > [@Is DynaLib still Available?](https://clarionhub.com/t/is-dynalib-still-available/6052/5): > > Hi Donald I tried to buy it from Oleg Rudenko a few years back, but it proved very difficult to transfer funds and I gave up in the end. (I think I tried and failed with TransferWise and PayPal). Note this was before the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent tightening of restrictions on money transfers so I suspect it would be absolutely impossible now. The details at the time: The library’s source code is available for purchase. Last version - v5.0.4.6 - C50b / C55h / C63.… for info on my attempt to buy DynaLib many years back. There is plenty of information about the structure of a tps file so it should be possible to “roll your own” but perhaps more work than the OP wants to do: > [@TPS internal file structure](https://clarionhub.com/t/tps-internal-file-structure/3706): > > There are a number of posts about this topic on the net. This one (attachment) was 404d, so Ive added it here so it doesnt get lost.
