Follow-up Comment #8:

<push credentials> I don't know either. If you want those you might ask Olaf
Till.

After some searching in my archives and on the web I found that info on
endianness of numeric data in dbf files is inconclusive at best. So let's hope
that you and I are doing the right thing :-) yet I do have some faith in it.

Anyway after some editing I pushed your fix, incl. a NEWS entry, under your
name, here:
http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/io/rev/80ae14a84ec3

Thanks very much.

A little OT:
In the s390x log I saw references to deprecated tempfile - you may want to
look at that.

Closing report.
