1168.0. "Superbase Shuffle" by DEFOE::JAMIE (If you get real, you stop smiling!) Tue Sep 03 1991 11:59

    I have a friend who wishes to transfer a database from a Superbase 1
    DB on the ST to a Superbase 4 DB on the IBM PC. Does anyone know if
    this is directly possible or will there have to be an upgrade path
    on the ST before the data transfer can successfully take place ?
    
    
    Cheers,
    
    
    				Jamie.

1168.1	should be do-able	WFOV11::LAFLEUR		`Tue Sep 03 1991 18:12`	3
	I do believe it is possible. I have SB PERSONAL and I have transfered files from the ST to a PC (and back)running SB. I am not positive that the PC was running SB IV, but it was running some form of Superbase.
1168.2	Various I/O formats	EICMFG::BURKE	Jim Burke, @UFC	`Thu Sep 05 1991 03:25`	8
	I would be surpised if it is NOT possible. I'm no expert with S/Base, but I managed to transfer my databases from my Epson portable (PX8 - an old CPM laptop) into S/base on the Atari. I had to fiddle & experiment with file formats, but it worked fine. I think it was something to do with Import/Export. The common format was ASCII-based, as I remember. Jim
