This project implements an xBase file format reader aimed at the dBase III
format in the D programming language. A description of the format is here:
http://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/format/index.html

The ability to read .dbf files remains useful as it remains a popular compatibility
format and is used as part of other formats, such as Shapefiles.

Reading files:
----------------------------------
import std.stdio : writeln, writefln;
import std.stream;
import xbase;

void main(string[] args)
{
    // Read each file passed in
    foreach (filepath; args[1 .. $])
    {
        auto db = xBaseDatabase.read(new File(filepath));

        writefln("%s contains %s records.", filepath, db.header.numRecords);
        writeln("Fields:");
        foreach (col; db.columns)
            writefln("\t%s (%s:%s)", col.name, col.type, col.length);
    }
}
