I am looking for a way to read some ancient visual foxpro files. Googliing around tells me that it is the same format as dBASE-II and friends, so called xbase files. I tried to install the python dbf package, but pip will not connect to the necessary reporitory for me. probably a company firewalling issue. I don't know. I also read that openoffice can read these files, but openoffice no longer shows up when I do an emerge -s looking for it.

Can anyone suggest a way to read these files? It would be great if I could export them to a cdf format...

No, but I can only thell that https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-office/libreoffice is the successor for openoffice. Maybe this can help.
