If you are looking to convert DBF files to MySQL and don't have Microsoft Access, I'd recomend Parse Rat (http://www.guysoftware.com/parserat.htm).

The conversion isn't straight from DBF to MySQL, instead, convert the DBF to a comma or tab delimited text file which you can then imort into MySQL.

And yeah, I remember the original dBASE by Ashton-Tate and then Borland, and now by Database Intelligence Inc. (http://www.dbase.com), it's also gone up a lot inprice to almost $900 USD.

What I'd really like is a dBASE like program that works with Access's MDB files.
