Clipper .dbf with OpenOffice

After struggling with some old Clipper database files (.dbf) for hours trying to find a suitable client to query the data, I accidentally found that the people at OpenOffice have done a great job including a special SDBC driver (Star Database Connectivity) that connects to those old files (Along with other JDBC, MySQL, ADO Datasources).

Although I'm still trying to find a way to generate the SQL script, yet, with the SDBC connectivity, it's not that bad after all.

Thanks OpenOffice :-)
