Re: Simple Linux Dbase4 database application?

2001-04-25 Thread Ross Boylan
Perl has some modules that can read xbase format files.  Python might as well.  
Of course, this is not the same as a complete application

Another thing you might try is running dbase under xdos or wine.

Programs that actually mention version 4:

   libxdb - xbase compatible C++ class library
   dbview - View dBase III files

Programs that probably do, too:

   dbf2mysql - xBASE -- mySQL
   dbf2pg - Converting xBase files to PostgreSQL
   dbf - xbase manipulation package
   libdbf1.6 - xbase manipulation shared library
   libdbf1.6-dev - xbase manipulation static library and headers

All of this in unstable.

(apt-cache search is a wonderful tool -- use it)
