Could also use TM4J, I would think. I have to build a Linux box at home
before I can get OpenCyc running (unless they get the Windows version
out first), but I have been looking at the docs and the API. Shouldn't
be too hard to do the import, at least for simple structures.

I'll report if I actually do get a chance to pursue this and make any
progress.

Cheers,
