If only it were that simple... the tables in the database rely on some
.prg files that were compiled into the foxpro application, meaning I
can't access the data unless I'm accessing it through the application
that was written.  Considering this is a 3rd party addon for the
application, I don't have such luxuries.

I'm reading the dbf files using a FileStream and BinaryReader combo.
Using the following website as my reference:
