dBaseIV drivers should install with ODBC on Windows. Within MDAC or whatever they call it. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyI D=6c050fe3-c795-4b7d-b037-185d0506396c Getting some drivers that work under Unix would be a problem, but Windows should be fine. If you start the ODBC Manager (odbcad32.exe) do you see the Microsoft Access dBASE Driver? That's the one you need. It can handle dBase III, IV and 5.0.
