dbf2pg - Insert xBase-style .dbf-files into a PostgreSQL-table

Browse Source 
There is an option "-s oldname=newname", which changes the old field name of
  the dbf-file to the newname in PostgeSQL. If the length of the new name is 0,
  the field is skiped. If you want to skip the first field of the dbf-file,
  you get the wildest error-messages from the backend.
  dbf2pg load the dbf-file via "COPY tablename FROM STDIN". If you skip the
  first field, it is an \t to much in STDIN.

A fix could be an counter j=0, which increments only, if a field is imported
(IF (strlen(fields[h].db_name)> 0) j++. And only if j > 1 (if an other field is
imported) the \t is printed.

An other small bug in the README:
-s start
              Specify  the  first record-number in the xBase-file
              we will insert.
should be
-e start
              Specify  the  first record-number in the xBase-file
              we will insert.
