[DB-SIG] Foxpro

[jim]

You can still use odbc.  There is a library (that costs) out there that will 
do it.

I have a python wrapper that I did for the xbase/xbase64 library that should 
work with the dbfs.  I doubt it will do any good with the indexes though.  

I didn't really care about .cdx indexes.  I made it work ok with clipper .ntx 
indexes so long as the clipper index doesn't have a conditional filter built 
in.

If you want I can shoot you a tarball of the pieces I used.  It's more that a 
bit crude since I'm not a skilled package maker.  On the other hand, I'm 
using it in a production environment and subject to the limitations have had 
no problems from the clipper side.
