Reading Old Progress data via DataStage

Heres a challenge (literally!).
An old DOS-based system here at the office is known as Progress. Its quite old. We have to import this data into our warehouse via DataStage. Documentation is ancient and the Progress database is definitely not current.
Has anyone heard of this database or is anyone aware of any ODBC driver or other method of reading it into DataStage?
Thanks!

What version of Progress are you having? I know one ODBC for this database, its called Merant ODBC, used to be called Intersolv ODBC.

You can download trial version of the driver from
www.merant.com. However, the driver is not free and whats worse, as far as i had tried it, it seemed to be extremely slow. Btw. ask Merant for manual if you decide to install it, the driver requires some system changes on client as well as on the server side. The current version oficially supports Progress 7.3 - 8.x
