Version 8 is ancient and obsolete. Version 10.1B (now known as "OpenEdge") is the current release. You could try contacting Progress Software Corp, http://www.progress.com. If you have a license that is covered under a paid-up maintenance agreement they might be able to help you.

Do you have some version of Progress already running?
Does anyone involved have any knowledge about Progress?
If so then tell us about it. What version? What platform? What sort of license? Is there a particular (vendor supplied) application in use?
It sounds like you need to extract the data so that it can be imported into Oracle. Is this intended to be a one-time event (perhaps for a conversion) or an ongoing process?

I want to thank you for your efforts. Here is the situation:
Progress is installed on Novell 4.11 the version is 7.3c, clients are running windows 3.11.
There is no supplier for Progress here.
No one has a good knowledge of Progress, but I have the password for database file.
I intend to export data from progress to oracle for one time.
Regards.

Do you know how to start a Progress client session? (There should be an icon somewhere...)
The simplest method for getting what you need is to start a Progress session, go to the "data dictionary", navigate to "admin" and select "dump data". This isn't the fastest way to do things but it may be sufficient.
That assumes that the license that you have supports such access.
If it doesn't then things get much more complicated.

You may want to checkout a product called SQLWAYS from Inspirer http://www.ispirer.com/ . I've been testing a migration of OpenEdge to SQL server 2005.
