John Maclean wrote a Perl script called capr that does this to some extent, 
but it's rather old now (2003), relies on the command-line program caget (but 
not the one that comes with Base), and as you would expect can only display 
those fields of a record that are accessible through CA.  It has to parse a 
DBD file to work out what fields each record type has, but it has a default 
path and will also read an environment variable so you don't have to specify 
the path every time.  I can provide a copy if anyone is interested, but it 
will probably need some effort to get it working at another site.

I thought Kay Kasemir had included a tool like this into CSS at one point, but 
I might be wrong about that.
