@ultimatemegs Are you having trouble running mdbtables on OSX? If so, I was able to get this going by using the following steps (outlined here):

git clone https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools
cd mdbtools
brew install automake
brew install glib
autoreconf -i -f
./configure --disable-man
make
make install

Then, once that all finished, I exported each table from an MDB file like so:

import subprocess, shlex

# specify the mdb file (Access DB file) to parse into tsv format
access_db = 'London_Book_Trade_NEW.mdb'

# list the tables available in the db
tables = subprocess.check_output( shlex.split('mdb-tables ' + access_db + ' -1') )
for t in tables.decode('utf-8').split('\n'):
  t = t.strip()
  try:
    print(' exporting table', t)
    # skip empty table names if present
    if not t:
      continue

    content = subprocess.check_output( shlex.split('mdb-export ' + access_db + ' "' + t + '"' ) )
    with open(t + '.tsv', 'w') as out:
      out.write(content.decode('latin1'))
  except Exception as exc:
    print(' could not export table', t, exc)

Do the following.

git clone https://github.com/mvertes/txt2man
cd txt2man
make install
txt2man -h
