Convert STR to DBF

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert STR to DBF?
Yes - STR converts to DBF.

The meaningful operation: use the .str structure inside dBASE to create or define a .dbf table with that field layout. This isn't a file-format conversion so much as applying a structure to make a table.

Also to DBF: PD · DM · ABS
