I have a dbf database of my vinyl records that sqlite probably cannot 
handle (unless there is some way to convert dbf to sql).  Also handles 
ndx.  Use on files created by dBase III and some IV, Clipper, BSBROWSE 
(free DOS database program from Slovakia that I use), CDBF (shareware 
DOS/LINUX/WINDOWS program that is very buggy in linux and dos) and several 
other old DOS database programs.

I therefore compiled xdb-1.2.0 (1999) and posted the package for 
glibc2.2.5 (Slackware 8.1).  There is a precompiled rpm version of the 
later xbase 2.0 (they had to rename it) for Redhat 6.2 (is that libc5?) 
online.  C++.

Not tested.  I included libxdb, the various programs, html docs, and 
examples.  About 180K (half of that is the library, most of the rest docs 
and examples).  dbfutil1 is 15K.

I also compiled xbase 2.0 but have not packaged it.  It would overwrite 
xdb 1.2 except for the library.  dbfutil1 is 20K.
