Offhand, no, I don't know of any training, but there probably is some
avaiable somewhere.
I was working at a company in the early 90's that began using it and sort of
"grew up with it"

Tips for importing... well, consider this... you can't do any damage to the
400 by connecting and performing the reverse engineering. Try it and see
what it gives you, but be prepared. If you are like most 400 shops, without
RI constraints, all you will really get is a set of tables and attribute
definitions with no relations.

But hey, it's a start.
