Subject: Using Filemaker 7/8 as a GRASS database

Platform: Mac OSX
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 6.1CVS

a simple, one or two step module that will allow us to use Filemaker Databases would be really nice.  Something that will link to iODBC or perhaps directly to the .fp7 or .fp8 file.  A lot of MAC users use filemaker for their database needs, as it is powerful and easy to use.

The major problem has been the GRASS uses unixODBC while Filemaker uses iODBC.  Translating a file maker file into something readable has been difficult.
