This is extended table from FlagShip documentation. You can took it in
text version from:
   http://www.fship.com/ftp/docutxt/dbfspecs.txt
As usual without any references to original authors.
Be careful using any iformation included in this table. There is no even
signle row which is 100% correct.
Most of different combinations of field type and size I created myself
and are avialable only in [x]Harbour but are marked as present in other
languages. Some information looks like copied from my old messages "as is"
and were not updated to later [x]Harbour source code when I was extending
functionality. Some field type description are directly copied from FlagShip
documentation and describes FlagShip!!! fields not the fields I implemented
in [x]Harbour, i.e. as "V" fields in [x]Harbour I implemented SIX3
compatible "V" fields and the table describes FlagShip "V" fields which
have similar structure to SMT memo fields "M" which I also implemented
in [x]Harbour as "M" when SMT memotype is used.
It clearly shows that it's only copy and past from other resources and
author did not even analyzed [x]Harbour source code.

New fantastic result of xHarbour developers without any references to
original resources/authors. Good lack. Anyhow this time MultiSoft is
commercial firm not only team of open source programmers so maybe its
lawyers will want to talk about it with xHarbour.com.
