[DXBase] Database import question?

ADI refers to the ADIF log format and it a common format that most Ham log
software adheres to as a way to exchange log data between different software
packages.
The way I would do it is:
1. Run the DXB Utility program and backup your existing log.
2. Run the Non-DXB Import Utility program. 
3. Under Source Data Type select Standard ADIF.
4. Under Source Database File select your current log you just backed up.
5. Enter a note in the QSO note field about anything special about these
contacts. When I import from a contest I usually put the contest name.
6. If you are nervous, select Do Not Load Any records and hit the Green
button to do a test import. If you are brave or if your test worked well
with no errors, then click Load all records and hit the green button.
Good luck.

What is the easiest way to import an "adi" file into DXBase? I have a
log from a friends computer that was for my contacts and given to me
after a contest as an "adi" file that I need to add to my DXBase log.
Any suggestions?
