The dbf file format is a known (and fairly simple) layout.
I once did a project with C using raw file I/O on dbf files.
And example of .dbf layout is at
http://www.geocities.com/geoff_wass/dBASE/GaryWhite/dBASE/FAQ/qformt.htm
Given this information, one *should* be able to parse a .dbf file
on a binary port with just rebol/core.
Just don't do a skip in a port open in binary. RT hasn't
fixed that one yet.
