Deleted is byte not bit (first byte in record, initialized to 0x20).
They're quite similar as far as I remember. Differences :
FP2.x
12-28 Reserved
29 Codepage (Same)
30-31 Reserved
n+1 Header record terminator (Same)
After n+1 doesn't have 263 bytes backlink info and data starts.
Field subrecords :
18-32 Reserved
So basically if you remove n+2,n+264 bytes from a VFP table, it's practically same as FP2.x table.
Of course byte offsett 0 file types and byte offsett 11 in field subrecords are only the ones that FP2.x knows :) (ie: No 0x30 for VFP or dBase4 SQL files).
