I have some data in dBase III compatible files (created with Alpha
Four, v4) that I want to move to Postgresql. I have already read the
Admin pages of the manual and didn't see anything that would point
the way.

Does anyone else have any suggestions? Would it help if I exported
the files to some other format ... perhaps CSV? Alpha Four offers
several common (but older) file formats for export.

I read a post earlier where someone was advised to read the FAQ but
I'm new to the neighborhood and don't know where to find them.

If the conversion is not going to be fairly straightforward using
just pgsql, could someone point me to a conversion script or program
somewhere?

I don't want to become a pgsql guru ... I just want to read and edit
THIS data and continue to add to these tables.

Bill
