What is a dbf file?
Dbf files contain file headers which describe the structure of the data in the file. A program that reads the file does not require prior knowledge of the data structure. Although there are more sophisticated database formats the .dbf file format, is still widely used in many applications needing a simple format to store structured data. There is a need for a compact dbf viewer and dbf editor that will cope with the rich functionality of these well-established dBase and XBase dbf file formats by offering rapid and reliable on-the-fly access to the data.

DBF Manager is suitable for dbf file structure management tasks
You can easy add, rename, and delete fields in your dbf files by using table structure designer
Open, view and modify .ndx, .cdx, .ntx, .mdx index files
The .cdx, .mdx, .ndx, .ntx index files contain and maintain pointers to records in the table (.dbf) file and is organized according to the index key values. An index file is separate from but associated with a .dbf file. So, you should open a .dbf file firstly and then associated index file(s) if needed.
Unlike .cdx/.mdx files that open automatically when the associated table is opened, you must open a .ndx/.ntx file explicitly using program's Index Manager dialog box (File->Index manager menu item).
Index files are only relevant for searching in the DBF - you really don't need them (i.e. you CAN read the .dbf data file without the index file). Removing the index file might break you application though.
