Hi Gustin

I just posted on my blog about reading from DBF but unfortunately 
haven't yet needed to write to one.  I hope you'll post back if you 
manage to?

By the way, if you look at the project's home page @ RubyForge [ 
http://rubyforge.org/projects/dbf/] it says:

There's no mention of writing!
