Is there a linux-based/free command line tool for converting dbf files into txt?
If you really want to do this, and you dont really need this read dbfs into R, there's "dbfdump" in the shapefile library.

I should be much better to directly read a dbf file and use its database structure definition to ensure that data come into R correctly.
Several solutions posted to R-help recently.
