Description:
Using the same source code and files, I've found that I can't write (insert, edit) dBASE records under Linux but I have no trouble doing it with the program running under Wine. The program reports a read-only error when I attempt to execute a database.insert or database.edit command.
The attached file demonstrates the problem. Use LibreOfice Calc (or similar) to create two .DBF files (call the second one WARDS2.DBF) with at least three text fields. Add some data to one (but leave WARDS2.DBF empty). Then run the program.
