--- Comment #7 from Julien Nabet <serval2412 at yahoo.fr> ---
I can't tell much about this except:
dbf format means dBASE database type. dbf format is the main file of dBASE, dbt
format is a kind of extension file to store some MEMO information.

bibliography.odb is just wrapper for biblio.dbf, it's the bibliography for
LibreOffice (some time ago OpenOffice), so just an example file.

Have in mind that dbf management is a buggy, some information may be lost when
dealing with dbt file.

In brief, I think (I might be wrong) that if you don't know a bit of dBASE, you
should keep away from bibliography part.

What's your goal? To add entries of official bibliography of LO or to have a
bibliography about something else for you?

If you want a file containing all your data, the best thing to would be to
create a brand new odb file HSQLDB or Firebird (you need to enable experimental
to access this format).

Caolán: I put you in cc just in case you'd have more information. (I noticed
you had created the README file quoted in comment 5).If it's not the case,
don't hesitate to uncc yourself of course.
