dos2unix, recode and dbview

[Johann Spies <jhspies@alpha.futurenet.co.za>]

I had an interesting experience while trying to read a Dos-dbf-file with
dbview. 

I first tried 

  recode ibm-pc:l1 <dosfile> linuxfile 

and when I ran "dbview linuxfile" I got an error message:

  Version 226 not supported.

It worked well when I recoded the file using dos2unix.

Why the difference?  What does the error message mean?  Does it refer
toe dbview or to the recoding process?

Johann.
