Harbour Project
http://www.harbour-project.org/
Harbour is a free software compiler for the xBase superset languageoften referred to as Clipper (the language that is implemented by thecompiler CA-Clipper).
Harbour is a cross platform compiler and is known to compile and run onMS-DOS, MS-Windows, OS/2 and GNU/Linux.
The main advantage Harbour has over other Clipper compilers is that itis free software. Harbour also attempts to remove some of the limitsimposed by the base implementation but the extent of this will depend onyour chosen platform.
Most importantly, try Harbour for yourself, decide for yourself why ithas advantages for you.
xHarbour: Open Source Extended Clipper Language
http://www.xharbour.org/
Harbour (extended Harbour) was started by Ron Pinkas late 2001 as afork off of the Harbour Project in which he was one of the leadingdevelopers. xHarbour was established to provide a more aggressivealternative to the conservative style of development in the HarbourProject.
The Harbour Project was launched in December 1999 by Antonio Linares.Naturally, the developers of the Harbour Project have contributed largeamounts to xHarbour, since xHarbour originated from the Harbour codebase. You can find a list of those developers at SourceForge. TheHarbour Project is still active, too - and some developers work on bothprojects.
In its short life, xHarbour already established itself as the favoritetool of the xbased programmer in general, and has attracted many loyalusers.
Why two Projects?
Ron started the project with this sentence [source: sourceforge]:
'As a result of some conflicts regarding current and future developmentdirection, xHarbour will offer an alternative for those interested in amore aggressive & less conservative approach.'
One major benefit of Open Source - it encourages the natural evolutionprocess!

(CLIP, GNU GPL)
CLIP is a Clipper/XBase compatible compiler with initial support for FoxPro, Flagship, and CAVO syntax. It supports Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Win32 (via Cygwin). It features support for international languages and character sets, including two-bytes character sets like Chinese and Japanese. It also features OOP, a multiplatform GUI based on GTK/GTKextra, all SIX/Comix features (including hypertext indexing), SQL and ODBC drivers, a C-API for third-party developers, a few wrappers for popular libraries (such as BZIP, GZIP, GD, Crypto, and Fcgi), a multitasking client and server based on TCP/IP sockets, and more.

I might be off on a tangent with this one, so forgive me, but was it Foxpro that uses the 'dbase' file format? If that is the case, then one can use the program 'dbview' (which is a console-based program), available from:
Package dbview
Package: dbview
Version: 1.0.3-4 Maintainer: Martin Schulze ([email protected]) Depends: Depends: libc6 Description: View dBase III files
Dbview is a little tool that will display dBase III and IV files.You can also use it to convert your old .dbf files for further use withUnix.
It wasn't the intention to write a freaking viewer and reinvent thewheel again. Instead dbview is intend to be used in conjunction withyour favourite unix text utilities like cut, recode and more.
AnubisNet 'dbf'
http://www.anubisnet.de/products http://dbf.berg-systeme.de
dbf is an easy-to-use command line tool to show and convert the contentof dBASE III, IV, and 5.0 files. It reads dBASE databases and prints thecontent to the screen or converts it to comma-separated (*.csv) fileswhich can be opened in Excel, StarOffice, and most other spread sheets.It can also be used to show some statistics about the content.
Easy handling
dbf is very easy to handle. The look-a-like orientates much on thecommand-line client of MySQL. Although the commands are quite differentfrom the MySQL command-line tool (and the fact that dbf is missing aninteractive command shell), every user could learn very fast how toconvert the dBASE files to CSV, SQL instruction sets or printing thecontent to screen.
Support for common platforms and architectures
One of dbf's goals is the multi-platform-/multi-architecture support.Most dBASE applications are developed for Windows running onx86-architectures. With dbf you get support for dBASE also on UNIX,Linux, BSD, MacOS X and several other platforms. dbf is as portable aspossible, so that it runs on Intel-based architectures (x86), PowerPCand Alpha/RISC architectures. Check out the system requirement pages andsee on how many platforms dbf was ported to until today.
With dbf 0.7 a lot of performance improvements were done on this smalltool. The export in one of the two export formats is done in a fewseconds (depending on the size of your data sets) and that is also truefor older, slower systems.
Only CSV? - not only...
CSV is a special file format, where all - Xbase
