PlanPerfect Import?

[Marc Petitmermet <petitmermet mat ethz ch>]

Dear list members

We have very large lists of our complete hardware and software 
inventory in PlanPerfect (running on DOS). Now, we have to import 
these data into an Oracle database. I was told that PlanPerfect 
cannot export the data in any format that other programs can read, 
e.g. simple tab delimited ASCII (because I don't know PlanPerfect I'm 
not sure if this is correct). Therefore, I was searching the Internet 
for some converter or program that can import PlanPerfect files. I 
found several hints to Gnummeric. So I installed SuSE Linux 8.0 with 
Gnummeric. But when importing the PlanPerfect files, I get the error 
message that plan_perfect.la is missing.

Can anybody tell me what happened to this plug-in? Where I can find 
it? Or if somebody has any idea to convert PlanPerfect files into a 
tab delimited ASCII file?

Thanks in advance for any hints.
Regards,
Marc
