+A little tool that will display dBase III files. You can also use
+it to convert your old .dbf files for further use with Unix. It should
+also work with dBase IV files, but this is mostly untested.

+dbview displays the contents of a dBase III or IV database file. This is
+done by displaying both the name of the field itself and its value. At
+the end of every record a newline is appended.
