[R] dbf-read

[Jonathan.Yuen@evp.slu.se]

Hello All,

I use dbf2txt (a perl script written by Gilbert Ramirez at University of
Texas) to convert dbase files to text files.  It also will produce the
necessary program (for another statistical package produced by a company
in North Carolina) to read the text file if you give it the -s option.  
Might be a good place to start, at least to see how the dbase file is
constructed.
