Maybe one of the following ? : 

"Thus the files to the right complete the structure of the dataset.  DBF files 
contain the actual data for your dataset except for data which is or may be 
rather large in size such as certain narrative data (i.e., the Memo field of 
a Tag).  This large-size textual data is stored in the FPT files.  Each DBF 
file will have a corresponding CDX file and possibly a corresponding FPT 
file.  The table on the right shows the various DBF files, their 
corresponding (if any) FPT file, and their corresponding CDX file."

I also found this :

Which indicates the subtle ;-) differences between the standard dbf format and 
the FoxPro format. Perhaps indeed therein lies the rub.
