Mapmaker output (ie linkage groups) is loaded into acedb as a list of Locus
records, each with a value for the tag "gMap". The value is a pair:
?Chromosome Float
giving the name of the Chromosome object and the position in centimorgans or
whatever your units are.
An easy way to see some examples would be to look at the Gopher server
"GrainGenes, the Triticeae Genome Database". It's on the list of All the
Gopher Servers in the World. Pick menu choice 2, "Search the GrainGenes
Database", and search for "gmap". This will list several interesting kinds
of objects including Locus's. E.g.
Locus : CDO64
RFLP
Chromosome_arm 2
gMap Avena-F 44.299999
gMap NABGMP-2H 58.900002
gMap Ta-Anderson-2 18.700001
Probe pCDO64
Linked_QTL Sprouting 4
Data Diploid Oat, Cornell
Data Barley, SxM
Data Wheat sprouting markers
This Locus is mapped on three different chromosomes, Avena-F etc. In
GrainGenes the Mapmaker input data (which Brad mentioned as being included in
the "F2_data" class) are in a class called "Map"; these are listed in this
locus record under the tag "Data": "Diploid Oat, Cornell" etc. You'll find
them on that same list of hits from the Gopher search.
The load-file (.ace) entry to load the part of this information for one
of the maps would be,
Locus : "CDO64"
RFLP
gMap Avena-F 44.3
Probe pCDO64
Data "Diploid Oat, Cornell"
Hope this helps,

P.S. By the way, many of us have had no experience with Solaris 2.x, but we'd
been under the impression that acedb would have problems with it. Any
comments about special obstacles you had to deal with?
