If it's a one time deal, then just pop the cd into the cd reader on your
universe box and us OS commands to copy the files to a directory accessible
by universe.  Then write a small program to read these files and do with
them what you will.

Subject: [U2] Importing data from OS file


I'm looking for a way to essentially "COPY" or "IMPORT" 100K+ records
contained in files on CD-ROM media into database files on Universe (and if
possible jBASE) systems.  I have the flexibility of choosing the format the
files contained on the CD-ROM.  I'd prefer to avoid hand-crafting a program,
but am open to using a freely distributable, (and free) third-party tool.  A
tool that is the converse of DOWNLOAD would be excellent, or a command-line
program that imports from a standard formatted file would be fine, too.

Any suggestions?
