Scenario:

Existing IMAGE based application.  Other users want to access the same data
from a number of desktop utilities.  It has been suggested to periodically
extract the IMAGE data to flat files, transfer them to a 'data warehouse'
machine and let the users 'go at it'.

Any suggestions where, perhaps, the data stay in IMAGE and are still
available to the users or where the transfer occurs dynamically as changes
are made to the IMAGE bases system, would be welcomed.

Regards
Paul
