Does anyone know a nice viewer/editor for DBF files. I have been using Gnumeric but I only realized now it only goes to 65536 rows so most of the data is missing.

Im really only looking for something so I can scan down the rows find all those starting with some number and copy these rows into a spread sheet.

Im sure there is a simple solution but I don't know it. Any chance anyone else does?

Not really something I've needed, but after a quick search found 'dbview'. Its in the repos. You could also try OO and see if that works for you.

Cheers that's the one. Well dbview piping to a file and then a quick c++ reading program.

Anyway much appreciated
