[Mono-list] Direct DBF Access?

[Abe Gillespie]

Anyone have a way to access DBF files w/o going through ADO.NET (and
as far as I can tell this option's only available on Windows going
through an ODBC connection)?  Specifically, I only really need header
access to inspect the table structure.

There is this:

But it's managed C++.  I guess, theoretically I could compile it in
Windows and use it in Linux ... but I'd rather not if there's another
option.

Thanks for the help!
