+ Xbase64 Version 4.1.4
+ 04/14/23
+
+
+WHAT IS IT?
+-----------
+
+Xbase64 is an xbase (i.e. dBase, FoxPro, etc.) compatible C++ class library
+originally by Gary Kunkel and others (see the AUTHORS file).
+
+Xbase64 is useful for accessing data in legacy dBase 3 and 4 database files as
+well as a general light weight database engine. It includes support for
+DBF (dBase version 3 and 4) data files, NDX and MDX indices and DBT (dBase version 3 and 4).
+It supports file and record locking under *nix and Windows.
