I used this originally, but then found some shortcomings whose nature I
don't recall. I believe it had odd rules for type conversions between
xBase and PostgreSQL, maybe. I had already written code to "browse"
xbase tables (dbfdump), so I just grafted SQL scripting onto it.

But by all means, if dbf2sql works, use it.
