+= DBF
+A dBase I/O library.
+
+== Features
+
+  * No external dependencies
+  * DB fields are type cast
+  * Date/Time fields are returned as either a Time or Date object.  Date 
+    will only be used if the date is outside the range for Time.
+  
+== Limitations
+  
+  * Writing to the db has not been implemented yet
+  
+== Usage
+
+  reader = DBF::Reader.new("old_data.dbf")
+  
+  reader.records.each do |record|
+    puts record['name']
+    puts record['email']
+  end
+  
+  puts reader.records[4]['name']
+  puts reader.record(4)['name']
+  
+=== A note on record vs. records
+
+DBF::Reader#records is an in-memory array of all rows in the database.  All
+rows are loaded the first time that the method is called.  Subsequent calls
+retrieve the row from memory.
+
+DBF::Reader#record retrieves the requested row from the database each time
+it is called. 
+
+Using records is probably faster most of the time.  Record is more appropriate 
+for very large databases where you don't want the whole db loaded into memory.
