You might look at the Pervasive Data Integrator product line. It's designed to move data from one source to a different destination.
You could also export the data to CSV and then use SQL Server to import it.

You will need a PSQL engine of at least the version the data files were created with. In your case, you'll need PSQL at least version 2000.
Thanks, Mirtheil. I have PSQL 10.10 trial version and Data Integrator 9 installed now. Since I don't have any DDF files yet but I do have all of the DAT files, how do I create a database and get the DDF files created? I'm struggling with understanding this. I thought I might just be able to attach to an existing database, but I'm not seeing that as an option.

Thanks,
Greg
