In Argentina, where I live, there is not a single institution that is able to produce good IT professionals (in ANY field). I've been in both sides of the game, hiring and postulating, and the only thing we care about is experience and the ability to prove in an exam what you say you know...
I guess we might me loosing the spiritual side of this story. These people might very well take as a sacrilege that fact that an "evil" company will profane their sacred language for an "evil" computer program. They're testing the legal way first.
New file formats seem to be more human readable and therefore easier to produce over time. I recently wrote a little Clipper Summer 87' program to translate old.dbf files to.sql statements so they could be imported into modern databases. It is not difficult at all to do data translation in order to ensure data persistence, the real issue here are the media in which data is stored.
