Description

@Xoristzatziki

Issue is based on information provided in «Memo fields» («Memo file header» structure and «Memo block structure») in http://www.independent-software.com/dbase-dbf-dbt-file-format.html and not by evaluating the code.

I have a memo file that uses the same dBASE IV structure, as reported in https://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/format/dbt.html#DBT_STRUCT

That is:

  • file uses LITTLE ENDIAN.
  • bytes from 8 to 15 hold DBF file name without extention. Name ends with zero that may have subsequent irrelevant bytes (in my case is b'ASTEN\x00\x7f\x1e', where ASTEN is the dbf name)
  • bytes 20-21 hold the length of block (as a little endian 16 bits integer).
