no memo

[anazar]

Is it possible to properly read a file without having the corresponding memo file? I have the same issue outlined in #64 since I don't have the memo file.

It is possible to read the file even with a missing memo file. Any memo fields will be returned as nil without the memo file, but everything else should work ok.

It could be a an issue with a specific type of dbf file. What is the output from dbf -s <your dbf filename> ?

The problem also outlined in #64 causes this issue: without memo file:
