[SL] CSV files and importing

[Jeff R. <Jef...@te...>]

Hello People

My name is Jeff and I've been playing with SQL-Ledger for a few years 
but have decided this year I'd get it fully running in my business 
(electronic repair). I've got it installed on a server running BSD 5.3 
with PgSql 7.4.5 and Apache 2.0, everything seems to be running OK and 
I've already entered all of my GL accounts in.

My next step is to import my customers, vendors and inventory 
items(services).

I downloaded the import script but it says that I must have my data in 
tab delineated fixed length format and I'm having trouble finding a 
program that will save in fixed length format. My current data is in 
.DBF format and I've tried Paradox and Star Office 6.0 but neither gives 
an option to save in a fixed length. My workstation computers are Linux 
so a solution from EMS is out of the question, any suggestions?
