If you are using Win98 as a client maybe you'd prefer to
use pgAdmin, a full featured management console for PostgreSQL
which runs only on windows machines. You'll find it at:

(you will also need to install ODBC driver)

Yes, there are many ways, but pgAdmin has a specific exporter to
migrate data from Access to PostgreSQL. Anyway, I never tried it...
