I was given a Watcom .db file to convert into SQL Server. Any ideas how to do it?

In SQL Server terms, you have been given a .mdf file.
You will need to install the Watcom DBMS software first before you can begin.
You could try installing the latest version of SQL Anywhere available at http://www.sybase.com/products/databaseservers/sqlanywhere/ and then connecting the watcom.db file. This may not work as the Watcom name was dropped with Version 4 circa 1995 and SQL Anywhere is now at version 9.
Alternatively, the Watcom software has the capability of generating the DDL (create table statement) and also creating a file for the data of each table. This might be simplier.
P.S.
Please refer SQL Anywhere questions to the Sybase newsgroup at http://www.sybase.com/support/newsgroups
