  Description : dBase module for php4

This package provides a module for accessing dBase databases from PHP scripts.

PHP4 is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed
from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown
in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write
dynamically generated pages quickly.

Sorry about that.  I wasn't sure about the level of detail an ITP should
contain.

The package will end up in non-free, unfortunately.  While the parts of
the module written by The PHP Group are licensed under the PHP License,
some of it is based on older code.

Relevant part of the copyright file, with comments by the last
maintainer, Ondrej Sury, looks as follows:

The libdbf copyright follows here:

This has been heavily hacked up from what was released to
comp.sources.misc, volume43 by Jim Winstead <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for use in
PHP 3.0.

The original source can be found at any decent comp.sources.misc
archive.  For example,

ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume43/dbf/
