Theoretically (I haven't done this mind you), you can start your file maker
database, define it as an ODBC data source, and use ODBC within GRASS to
access your tables. If you are successful with this, could you let me know
as I use filemaker and might want to do this sometime. In my case, I'm on a
Mac, but do have windows machines in my lab in case ODBC works better this
way.
