4 February 2001 Revised 7 April 2013 I wrote this program (dbfsak) because of the fact that Midnight Commander uses a program called dbview, which doesn't work. Looking over the docs/source for dbview, it appears it was written long ago, abandoned, and then someone resurrected it with little or no modification. When I've tried to run it, it often hasn't worked. I needed something to display FoxPro data files, so I wrote this little program. Now, I just do a symlink from dbview to dbfdump (I made the command lines similar), and off I go. I'll leave it to the man page to tell you how to run it. Compilation and installation are the usual: make ; make install Installation is in the /usr/local tree. If you don't like this, edit the makefile. There are no extraordinary dependencies with this program. It is written in C and relies only on gcc and the standard C libraries. It was originally written in C, ported to C++ and then ported back to C again. I'm not a big fan of C++ and I didn't want to have to maintain it in C++. This was a quicky program. The code is not beautiful. Like most Open Source programs, I've added features to it over the years as I've needed them. If you have suggestions for improvement or bug reports, feel free. If you'd like to contribute code, let me know. I cannot claim perfection in this program. It may well have bugs. As such, I make no claims about the suitability of these programs for your application, and cannot assume responsibility for your use of them, or the results thereof. Naturally, this program is released under an Open Source license. Do with it as you will, but give me credit for the original work, if you please. Paul M. Foster
