Although it's true I don't know that I'm getting "in memory"
DBF reads, the bulk of the time in the code I just shared is
in the "writing to XLS" inner loop.

Looking to a different solution for writing, perhaps a DLL
available for $ (one time).

Been reading more about VFP, Silverlight and HTML5.  Python
seems in a good position.  All caught up on IronPython now too.
