The DICE people do their abm conversions from captured reports, so they wouldn't be much help. A number of years ago I converted a DICE system in thoroughbred to ABM in universe using the kmecsv utility I found at http://prog-net.com/tbred.html. Unfortunatly the links there are dead, but maybe you could find the owner of the page, or contact someone else on the "Business Basic Web ring" (linked from the page) and find a copy. The system I had to work with didn't have odbc, but that version of thoroughbred did have a simple query tool that could be used to print data. Going the captured report/monarch route may be the best way to go if you can't get odbc, can't find kmecsv, and don't want to pay a business basic consultant.

It's written in Thoroughbred and they spend a lot of time converting from a big seller in that industry called ABM which is written in Pick to DICE. Backwards yes, but at least they know both sides.
