Damon, I used Gateway to create an empty dbase file by first creating a matching empty R:Base table. Then I dropped the R:Base table so that I could attach the dbase version.
R:Base inserts and deletes rows in the dbase file-table, then the external application that reads dbase but not R:Base or ODBC can do its job. I keep a backup of the empty dbase file-table, because the dbase files otherwise just grow forever. The client knows to exit R:Base (so the file-table is detached) and copy the backup into the app directory when things get slow or flakey.
