I have done something of the kind in the past by writing a program
taking a .dbf file on its standard input and writing a control file
including the data to its standard output, which was then awfully easy
to load. I no longer have the program but it took about half a day to
write, including the search on the internet to find out what the
structure of a .dbf file is, because I had no idea about it. The only
tricky thing I remember is that I wrote it to run on both Solaris and
Tru64 and in one case (Solaris, I think) some bytes had to be swapped
('man swab').
