I give excuses, since be not written english well.

I need a freeware tool to create and print a model entity relation and data dictionary, as of some tables of foxpro 2.6 (DBF files).
buttonhole that read the names of tables and their/its fields directly of the hard drive.
 
If I understand your needs correctly, I do not know of a shareware program that does what you want, but writing a small program like you describe is very easy.

Using the command =ADIR(dbf_array, &quot;<your directory>\*.dbf&quot;) will easily give you a list of the DBF files.

Then going through that array with a FOR - ENDFOR loop and using the =AFIELDS(fld_arr) command on each DBF file will provide you with a list of the field names, type, and size for each file.

Try it, you'll find it is very easy to do.

Good Luck,
