The first byte is DBF signature and for dBase files it is:
bits 0-2: version number:
-> 3 for dBASE Level 5,
-> 4 for dBASE Level 7
bit 3 and bit 7: memo file
bits 4-6: dBASE IV SQL table
0x8C is 0b10001100 so version number is 4 and both memo bits are set.
It means that this is dBASE Level 7 file with some extended DBT file.
This format is not compatible with Clipper/Harbour DBF files.
