+What is MDB Tools?
+
+MDB Tools is a planned set of libraries and utilities to facilitate exporting
+data from MS Access databases (mdb files) into a multiuser database such as
+Oracle, Sybase, DB2, Informix, MySQL, Postgresql, or similar. A nice little
+Gtk MDB file browser will probably be written as well.
+
+Ok, how much is done?
+
+You can list catalog entries. There is some preliminary schema exporting
+utility. And you can export data out to CSV (comma separated value) format.
