Is threre an utility to convert old DBF  into Xbase DBF and DBT ?

There is a White paper to show how to convert DBU to Xbase++.

  However you really don't need to. You can simply use DBU. Or if you 
want a Windows-DBU check out Clayton's X-DBU

There is no need to convert DBFs. They are the same in Clipper and 
Xbase++ Unless you are using Fox formated DBFs Then you will need a 
Xbase++ utility.

Is threre an utility to convert old DBF  into Xbase DBF and DBT ?

DBT files store memos. If you don't use memos you don't need DBTs. DBTs 
are created automaticly in both Clipper and Xbase++ when you create a 
file with one or more memo fields. You can also use FPT if you use 
FOXDBE for memo(text) or memo(binary) fields.

Klaus,

Yes, and the project also exists on www.xodc.org.uk, although I believe Jim
has some trouble connecting.  Do you still want to head up this project
Jim?

I have had no time to play with the connection. I'd still like to do it 
but it will be a couple of weeks before I really have time.

That's ok, it doesn't look like anyone is rushing to add code to the
project.  If anyone has any changes they want to include, hang on to them
until Jim is ready

James already answered that one

> Is threre an utility to convert old DBF  into Xbase DBF and DBT ?

How old? AFAIK Xbase++ can open any kind of DBF. Anyway, to make a
convertion of different DBF formats just take 2 lines. For example, to
convert a Clipper DBF to a Fox one

DbUseArea( .t., 'DBFNTX', 'OldDBF.DBF' )
DbExport( 'NewDBF.DBF',,,,,,, 'FOXCDX' )

Very Best Regards
