[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Rbase and Dataease

anderer@vax1.acs.udel.EDU (David G Anderer) (04/28/89)

Got a request from a unser who needs to move a mass
of data from a Dataease (sp?) database into an
Rbase database.

1. Does Rbase understand Dataease format?  (I expect not.)
2. Does Dataease understand Rbase format?  (Again,
   unlikely.)
3. Can Dataease export in something like dBase format
   that Rbase can read?  (Probably my best shot.)

Please share any experience you have with these products.
Thanks.

The R:BASE 'unload' command can export data to a simple text file
delimited with comma's.  The 'load' command can similarly import
data of the same format.  If dataease can do the same thing, you got
something going. ;-)
