Hi;
Problem solved - the source dbf file is somehow corrupted when
downloaded from an NT server to a PPC G4 Mac over a Microsoft RDC
client connection. This is a repeatable result. Used rdesktop to
download the files directly onto the trusty FreeBSD machine and it
works fine that way.
Cheers,
Tom

Hi;
Hoping for some help on this application that converts dbf files
into csv format.
I'm not sure if the problem is with the source dbf file ... my
usage / syntax ... and/or something else...
