Has somebody out there written a program to pick up FileIo layouts and
import them into the ODBC context manager?

There is a lot of ongoing development on this front. There will will be a new version of Fileio and ODBC.

The new Fileio is currently being tested with against current Fileio implementations. It converts all existing layouts to the new format while retaining the CSV based format for backwards compatibility.

Dan in developing a new version of ODBC that will be compatible with the new Fileio format. The format is similar to the existing ODBC context but simplified.

So to answer your question. No, I'm not aware of this type of conversion but I am in the process of creating a conversion from ODBC to Fileio.

While I like this idea of this going both ways, there are currently no plans to export from Fileio to the ODBC format.

wasn't a program like this included in luis's ODBC presentation at the last BRG conference?

I didn't install it to check, but I think it was the Brag2008 session. Covered in the Pre-Conference seminar.
