No, we can't. And they're not files, they're located in the database...The database can be freely accessed. The structure of the database will be easy to understand.

and the "database" , it's not a file ?
Or several files ?
In a directory on a computer, accessable and copyable
under DOS,Windows,Linux ?

The type of database supported by vBulletin is MySQL.

Just to let you know, I actually have got it working with PostgreSql, (The elephant kind

).

Although, because vBulletin is used by thousands of users worldwide with MySQL, I would probably go with that. They don't have a problem with it, and neither should you.

FYI, Although I'm not positive exactly how a database phisically stores data, I do know you can use .sql files to pick out data from the database and transfer it universally to other databases.

I recently found this:

http://boardreader.com

which lets you import and read several boards simultaneously.
I'm not yet so happy with their design, but it seems to be a step
into the direction what I had in mind.

is this new ?
are there other such readers already ?
could I even convert this way from -say- v-Bulletin to phpBB and vice versa ?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
