Getting data from DBIII

[Jon Nicoll]

Hi there
    This may not be at all what you're after, but for reading .dbf
files (ie 'Dbase III', which may be what you mean), there are acouple
of modules ar the V
vaults of Parnassus:

I've used these for reading simple (old) Dbase III databses with
success.
