The best suggestion that I can offer is to get the package that contains
PF2ASC.COM from SIMTEL20 archives.  As the name suggests, it will convert a
PF database into a 'comma delimited' ASCII file which should be easy to import
into a foreign database program.  It is available under
             pd:<cpm.kaypro>pf2asc.lbr.

Kaypro's phone number is (619) 535-2155.  However, they are a skeleton outfit
now, that is devoted to PC clones, and I doubt that they can be of much help.
