Search for dbase32c.zip file on the internet. It is a C-source for accesing
dBASE files (no index usage). But You will have to change a few lines in it
to work in DJGPP since it was written for 16-bit BC and MSC. Actually those
lines are a part of the header structure of dBASE file. In original source
it says int (which is the same as DJGPP's short), and you put short instead
(I think it is 2 or 3 lines).

P.S. But changing all 'int' to 'short' in those source files would make your
     code significantly slower!
