Sorry for the delay, Gene...

If your apps are creating/updating the DBF files, then these apps should 
also be able to convert the DBF content to CSV?

Or, you should be able to get various apps - hopefully free! - which 
convert from DBF to CSV?

Or, if you write code, or if you have access to programmers, the DBF 
structures are well known, and it should be easy to write a program to 
do the conversion to CSV?
