Convert dbf file to csv

Can someone help me to convert a small dbf file (113mb) to csv? I have tried virtually all the online converter available, and it either fails or says that the file is too big.

This can be done using R, which is free and can be downloaded here

The R script to read the dbf file and write a csv is:

install.packages("foreign")
library(foreign)
myFolder <- "C:\\Users\\yourFileLocation\\"
myFile <- "yourFile.dbf"
df <- read.dbf(paste(myFolder,myFile,sep=""))
myCsv <- "yourCsv.csv"
write.csv(df,paste(myFolder,myCsv))

There are no file size resrictions.
