2003-11-09 (Release-Date)
- Changed the options parsing system and the options id, so that options
with a single hyphen can also be used and displayed in the help.
- Inserted a fail safe routine which checks that the original file will
never be overwritten if the options filename is missing
- Tab-separated files without quoted text-passages can be created by using
't' as separator.
- Fix for date strings in SQL: According the PostgreSQL manual, SQL (ANSI)
requires date strings to be quoted, ie. '20031029'

0.7 STABLE
2003-09-14 (Release-Date)
Changelog send in by Mikhail Teterin:
- Totally reworked options parsing.
- Using the new options-parsing scheme, I added the way to specify the
desired CSV separator, debug level, and string-trimming option (below).
- When outputing the SQL file, strings, probably, should not be trimmed,
and that is now a default. The trimming can now be specified as:
--trim {r|l|b}
- The two codepage-conversion functions combined into one, which is also
made table-driven.
- Record-conversion can now be turned off with the --noconv option.
- While input is still opened and read directly with open/read (perhaps,
it should stay that way), the output file is operated on using the stdio
functions fopen() and fprintf(), fputs, putc().
- Some reorganization in the variable-declaration and other cleanups...

Package provided by David Forrai <david.forrai@gemair.com> via PR
pkg/21105.
dbf takes a dBASE III, IV, or 5.0 (dbf) file and dumps its table
contents to either the screen or a comma separated values (csv) text
file. There is no man page with this package but a README file is
installed in ${LOCALBASE}/share/dbf. You can also run dbf --help for
usage instructions.
