 Hi,

 FWIW, years ago we developed a small tool to update fields/columns of a
 shapefile dbf from a flatfile. This was essentially additions to 
 shapelib/dbflib that added a few additional
 functions such as DBFWriteStringAttributeList and 
 DBFWriteDoubleAttributeList.

 The lib was additionally built as a loadable module under tcl...

 Usage was like
 UpdateDBF {DBFName txtDataFile txtFieldName FieldNo}

 IIRC, we submitted the changes to shapelib maintainer, but I don't know 
 if they ever made it..
 Let me know and I can send it over with some basic usage 
 instructions...

 regards,

 nikos
