I can't remember if LOTUS can export in a dBase format, but I routinely
need to import data into our Oracle system running on a Sun and I use
a home-grown program that reads dBase or Foxpro files directly, rewrites
the data and data structure as a text file, and then creates the .sql and
.ctl files for table creation and loading.
