[oclug]Coverting dBaseIV Files

[Howard Krakower]

The dBase file system is .dbf for the data file, .dbt for the text file
(re: memo fields) and .idx for the index file. I'm not sure if dBase would
open the .dta files.

Somehow I recall that an earlier version of StarOffice had the ability to
open dBase files.
