[GRASSLIST:4890] Re: Using FileMaker Pro 7.0 as a DBMS

[Kurt Springs]

Thanks Nick,

Unfortunately, I will have to wait until version two comes out to use it 
with Filemaker Pro 7 :-P .  I have  another program that can translate 
FM7.  I just need access to a Windows machine with Active Perl to run 
the scripts to make the final translation :-P :-P .  Maybe someone can 
writ a GRASS module that translates directly from .fp7 to the GRASS 
database ;-) .

I hope to have a report I yesterday's battle on the list tonight.
