Converting FileMaker Pro 4.1 files from Mac to AS/400

[Rob Dixon <rob.dixon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been asked to convert some FileMaker Pro 4.1 files from a Mac to
an AS/400 with V3R7.  The largest file has about over 22,000 records
and, I am told,  took 15 days !!! to convert to a Tab delimited file on
a Mac G3.  I now have these on my Windows 95 PC.

I have had a quick look at the first few records and they are a total
mess.  I have seen some very bad database designs over the years but
this has to be the worst.

Has anyone any experience of converting FileMaker Pro files to the
AS/400?  What would be the best way of transferring them to the AS/400?
Any other tips, suggestions?

Any help would be gratefully received.

Rob Dixon
