I've got what I believe are old DBase/Foxpro files (DBFs, plus CDX and

open the DBF files.


Here's some tips on hacking a DBF file so it doesn't require an index file:

Can anyone suggest the best way to extract the data?  In this case,
it's really a one-time task I'm just experimenting with, so it's not
worth buying some expensive solution.

There are several DBF converter and reader applications at www.sourceforge.net. Just search for "DBF" or "xbase".
