Here is some information on how I was able to get DMOZ Extractor / Links III files to import to LSQL 2.1.0, without using Links 2, for anyone who is interested.
The example is using DMOZ Extractor (DE):
1. With DE, browse the top level of the area you want to extract i.e. Arts->Music->Bands and Artists
2. Double click Auto Extact Set Category, and set the top level category to Bands and Artists
3. Once DE has finished extracting, OUTPUT-> Gossamer Links 2
4. Move these files to a directory on your server such as /import/data.... you may need to move the .def files (which come with LSQL and define the tables) to the /import directory also.
5. In LSQL Admin goto Database -> Import/Export and set as follows (not sure why but this worked for me)
6. Click IMPORT, and enjoy!
This worked for me, and I would love to hear if anyone has worked out a better way or has improvements on what I have done here... especially a way of solving the related categories.... (i could not import this information).
The reason why I use DMOZ extractor, is I dont have shell/telnet access with my host, and I do not know how to import the RDF file otherwise. I would also love to know how to do this, especially if it kept the category relations in tact!

This produces categories.db, links.db and url.db, plus two text files.

Import from: Links 2.x
Location of def files: pathtowebroot/import
Checked: Show Errors, Create Missing Categories, Extra Data Integrity, rest unchecked
