TDbf is a TTable like component for single-user application. 

It allow you to use standard dBase files in your program without the
need to install BDE.

This is I think, the most advanced free software of this type available
for DELPHI.
   * Allow the use of all dBase native type (character, numeric,
     logical, date, and memo). <BR>
   * Memo files
   * File format compatible with Delphi Database Desktop.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
How to use it ?

1 - Copy the file in your Components directory
----------------------------------------------
Put the two files dbf.pas and dbf.dcr in your unit directory:
	C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi5\Units
Or any other directory for exemple mine is 
	D:\Delphi\Unit

2 - Install component
---------------------
In delphi click the menu 'Component' 'Install component'.
Select the file dbf.pas.
The packet is usually c:\program files\borland\delphi5\Lib\dclusr50.dpk
Compile it.
A new icon should appear in the 'DBAccess' tab of delphi.

3 - Use it
----------
Works exactly like a ttable.
In filename you enter the complete name + path of the dbf file.
At run time the program will try to find the file in this location 
and same directory than the exe file.
So no need to have any alias defined anywhere

Enjoy.

Let me know any problem with it
