------------------------------------------
Hi Tim,
I've processed a forensic disk copy with 533,949 files. I got 137 files
detected as application/x-dbf using the 0x03 signature, all false positives.
Not so good. Many of them are deleted/recovered files pointing to binary data.
The reference you've posted (http://www.dbf2002.com/dbf-file-format.html)
states that byte at offset 0x00 can have other values depending on file version
or software vendor. And some of them are supported by jdbf. So I think 0x03 is
also too restrictive.
> Add mime detection and parsing for dbf files
