The problem, of course, is that there is no single DBF format. The only product out there that still uses DBFs, Visual FoxPro, supports 3 separate and incompatible formats: 2.x, 3.0, and later. What's more, the later versions introduced new data types, so even those are not compatible with older formats.
Because VFP has not fallen off the face of the earth, but instead has continued to thrive, it has added things such as auto-increment fields and BLOB support that were never even envisioned by the folks at JPL when they created Vulcan. As a result, there is no single DBF reader that can read all DBF files.
