title: Problems with encoding in DBF table
body: <p>I try to get a data from dbf table, but have some problems with encoding.
  In table, except the numeric values, there are two columns with string data: Name and Comments</p>
  
  <p>Both of them should be in cyrilic encoding and I had problems with both. Tried to open them in Excel and in DBF Commander but in every editor i see that:</p>
  
  <p>Name values looks like -  <code>(аа)_+_+__++ е_T з+_+T+++++</code></p>
  
  <p>And Comments like -  <code>гЃЊ”Џ—“‹Џ… ›Џ““… „ЏЌ 256 ‹— 490 Ё-178</code></p>
  
  <p>After some investigation i find out that values from Comments column can be converted to readable text with such code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>string value = "гЃЊ”Џ—“‹Џ… ›Џ““… „ЏЌ 256 ‹— 490 Ё-178";
  var bytes_in = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(value);
  var bytes_out = System.Text.Encoding.Convert(System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(866), System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1251), bytes_in);
  var DOS_WIN2 = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(20866).GetString(bytes_out);
  Console.WriteLine(DOS_WIN2);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But i can't find any solution for the Name column. I also tried a bunch of automatic encoding convertors but without success.
  And it looks strange that there are too many '+' symbols in values. In Russian language there are no symbol which is used so often.</p>
  
  <p>So is it possible that particular column in dbf table is somehow broken or encrypted? Is there any way to get data from this column?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>I found that Comments column has actually a MIME type with references to .fpt file with real strings. So Name is the only Character column and i can't read it</p>
