DBFCDX and Memo Files
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The DBFCDX driver uses FoxPro compatible memo (.fpt) files to store data
for memo fields. These memo files have a default block size of 64 bytes
rather than the 512 byte default for (.dbt) files.
DBFCDX memo files can store any type of data. While (.dbt) files use an
end of file marker (ASCII 26) at the end of a memo entry, (.fpt) files
store the length of the entry. This not only eliminates the problems
normally encountered with storing binary data in a memo field but also
speeds up memo field access since the data need not be scanned to
determine the length.
