GRASS's link to RIM?

[Steve Dzurenko]

Hello,

GRASS advertises a link to the RIM relational database
management system.  I am currently in the process of 
creating a RIM database from my GRASS database.  But
it seems that I must do this "by hand".  I have finished
creating the definition of the RIM database.  I will
now start writing a program to read through my GRASS
database, extract header information from all the data
files, and put that into my RIM database.

So is that the way to do it, or have I missed something
that can facilitate this process?  Once this is complete,
are there GRASS programs that can take advantage of the
information in the RIM database, or is it up to me to
create such applications?

Thank you for your time.
