[comp.databases] Importing unix refer databases to dBase3+ - help with memo fields?

awd@dbase.A-T.COM (Alastair Dallas) (05/25/90)

A couple of people have asked how to programmatically import text into
dBASE memo fields.  I'm sorry in advance for my self-serving, not-very-useful
answer, but it is: use dBASE IV, which has commands to do this very thing.
I don't know of any way to accomplish this in dBASE III except using an
editor and reading in text files by hand, one at a time.

BTW, I've been away from the net for a few weeks--hope I haven't missed
any vital questions about dBASE.
