Importing data from Btrieve to SQL - Migrating data to new SQL ser

I have an old Btrieve database written by some programmer in the distant
past. It's currently running on an old 3.11 novell server. That applictation
being updated every day.
I need to get that data out of the old Btrieve DB and into a new SQL
database.
What an easy way (tool) to migrate this data over into one or more SQL tables?
thanks

You should be able to use the Pervasive Btrieve ODBC driver included
with the product to migrate your data from Btrieve to your Microsoft SQL
Server. There's a good tutorial that covers this online at:

Hope this helps.|||Thanks, I'll take a look.
Good night.

ODBC. If you need to build these you can take a look at BtSearch32 at
www.nssdd.com. It helps you analyze the structure and build the DDF
files. It will also export to dbase or ascii formats.
