there's a set of C programs (dbfadd, dbfidx, dbfdel...) which is available
on the net. Check out the "free database list" (search for it with your
favorite search engine).

the programs were written by someone from SGI. what they do essentially is
that all the basic .DBF commands (create, index, add, remove...) are in a
separate program. i suppose you could hack this for your own purposes.

i've tried the programs (under UNIX though, it might take a bit of
modification to work under MSDOG, e.g. fopen (..., "wb")) and it works ok.

you can probably find it quickly by doing an FTP search for 'dbfadd' or
one of the other filenames.
