Please bear in mind that comparisons between the sizes of binary representations and the sizes of their literal reprepresentations are meaningless. PeekDBF handles binary data in a reasonable way, based on the command line option supplied. Use these options to view the dirty details of DBFs. 4.1 Default Action See table1.txt. 2 PeekDBF's default action is to display a summary of the information contained in the header.
Binary data is converted to readable form.
All the numbers displayed are in decimal. The number of records shown includes those marked deleted. Some of these bytes are used by certain database programs. If the DBF was created by Visual FoxPro, the next 263 bytes describes the table's relationship to other files in a multi-file database. Finally the data records start.
