Re: dbf and pocket PC



Leonardo,

I'm not aware of anything for free. But if all you want to do is read a DBF
file and use it in your app, you can look at a DBF file with something like
Notepad and determine how large the header is. Strip off the header and the
rest of the file would be just fixed-length fields that you could parse
yourself. The file formats for various DBF files are probably available on
the internet too.
