It might not be difficult to write one. You basically need to
first decipher the file header, after which reading in the
database records is straightfoward.
DBF file structure
Is there a linux-based/free command line tool for
converting
dbf files into txt?
How about DBF2CSV 1.0 in
http://www.dirfile.com/dbf2csv.htm.
This is a perl script.
Best wishes.

This seems to work well in extracting the field-names and
data from a DBF file.

dbf file with a well defined structure. We convert it into a text file,
which has a loose structure, undefined variables types etc.
