- One thing you could do is to buy a dbase library in C source. Write
- some embedded C code to read the dbase file, using the dbase libary,
- and fill the Ingres table. There is a dbase libary called SoftC Database
- Library. It comes with C source, so you should be able to compile on VMS,
- or UNIX with minimal changes. I have not tried it yet. I can tell you
- more about it in the future. I intend to do the same thing as you are
- except in the other direction. I have data in an INGRES table which I want
- to fill into a dbase file.
