A thanks to everyone on this list and especially; Jeffery Rhines, Chris
Knight, Chris Bitmead, and Sevo Stille.
The solution turned out to be very simple. After catching a SCSI BUS
speed mismatch problem which caused a NT Backup 'Restore' failure I
discovered that the actual data was in .mdb files! Copied the files to a
system running MS Access (Office 97) and was able to export them to a
delimited format which went into PostgreSQL with very few problems.
Mostly there were split lines which the \copy command didn't like. Hand
corrected them.
I was able to get the table format by using MS Access. Only question left
is what is the corresponding field type in PostgreSQL for a memo field in
SQL Server/Access (varchar(nnnn))?
Again thanks for all the help,
Rod
