I have a module -- which I'm going to get around to releasing one of 
these days :-) -- which allows to read dBase III, dBase IV and Foxpro 
files (sequentially only, not randomly) and to write dBaseIII files 
sequentially. Index files if any are ignored.

Field types supported for reading:
C character
D date
F float
I integer (32 bits)
L logical
M memo (stored in a .DBT (dBase) or .FPT (FoxPro) file)
N number
T time

Writing supports only dBaseIII with C, D, L and N fields, but could be 
extended easily enough (I've never had the need). No index files are 
written.

E-mail me if you are interested.

Cheers,
John
