There is IBDatapump out there, which does most stuff automated.
As long as you create a table-structure identically in your IB-DB and
the old Paradox db, IB Datapump can even map all tables and fields
automatically.

You can find it on http://www.clevercomponents.com

Its pretty fast, and as it is automated, your 200MB tables can be pumped
over night in one batch run.
