This can be readily done with an appropriate copy of FoxPro or dBASE.
dBASE originated the .dbf format, but the I think that the .cdx
(compound index file) may have started by FoxPro (once FoxBase, then
FoxPro, now VFP (Visual FoxPro).
There have been minor changes to the file format. Converting an earlier
table (.dbf file) with a later version of Fox can render the table
unreadable by the original application. (This can be easily fixed).
Perhaps more to the point is that screens, program logic, and re****ts
would have to be changed so as to reflect the new table structure.
Is this a commercial software package? Some allow custom development,
some don't.
