Ah yes, that makes sense, the original DBF spec does not have support for
blob fields.
According to this page Visual Foxpro added a field type for blobs as an
extension,
but that's something only Visual Foxpro would then be able to read:
http://devzone.advantagedatabase.com/dz/webhelp/advantage9.0/server1/dbf_field_types_and_specifications.htm
I guess, as an improvement, the shapefile output command could try to remove
all attributes whose types that cannot be handled in a DBF.
