No, unfortunately. You have two possible methods:
1. Dump the Dbase4 (using the original application) data into a
delimited text file, and then use COPY to load it into Postgres.
2. Use ODBC (or UnixODBC) and an external language (like Java, Perl, or
Python) or database tool (like MS Access, Kylix, or Rekall) to pull data
out of DBase4 and pump it into Postgres.
Good luck!
