 Data Conversion

I am in the process of converting an application that currently uses an
Informix database.  The plan is the use Visual Basic 5.0 and a database
that will hold scanned images, probably a FoxPro database.  I am looking
for some way the convert the data, mostly the BLOBs currently in the
Informix database to that of FoxPro's database.  I know that the later
versions of FoxPro has a General field type that will hold BLOBs.  

Does anybody out there have any information that will help me with this
convertion?  Are there any Informix to FoxPro drivers out there?

Thank in advance for your help.

I would check that the driver you intend using supports BLOBs, the
Paradox one which comes with VB4 DOES NOT!
