dBase spec?

by "NowhereMan" <nowhere@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Aug 22, 2005 at 02:44 PM

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can find a spec for the latest dBase file format?

Specifically, I need to know what constitutes a valid field name.  As of 
dBase 4 (I think), the rules were:
-- must be 10 chars or less, null terminated { truncated at 10 chars }
-- must consist of letters, numbers, or underscores { all non-letters,
nums, 
or underscores converted to underscores }
-- the first character must be a letter { make it an 'A' if non-character
}
-- the characters must be uppercase

Has anything changed since then?

TIA for any links...

CB
