Ok, I was a bit curious if I can do it, so I tried to make a dbc editor myself.
And here is the result - mini DBC editor.

It took me few hours of programming and testing, it works for me and I hope it will work for anyone else.
Now, I don't have much of a free time, so I made this a quick job, and the result is that there is no make up done (a basic user interface), not much of possible error handling routines and there are just basic functions: you can open a valid .dbc file, you can edit any value in the fields and you can add new row to the file with values that you can set yourself, and, finally, you can save the edited .dbc file. So it's like an ordinary dbc editor with additional function to add new records (rows, lines) to any .dbc file.
If you need it use it. If you don't need it, I would still like to hear comments and bug reports if there are any (there are allways some hidden bugs). And I would like to hear from any vista user if it works under vista.
For more info read the notes bellow...
NOTES:
=======
- tested under winXP SP2; don't know if it would work with vista, but shouldn't be problems
- tested on a large number of .dbc files from WoW 2.3.3.; it should work with any later updates of wow unless blizzard change the format (and I mean header information, not the number of columns) of dbc files, but in that case I can update application to work with later versions;
so, I don't really know if it works with current dbc files, but I guess nothing has changed since wow 2.3.3., so it should be ok
- I would like to hear any comments - good or bad - and bug reports, suggestions etc.
Hope this is usefull to someone, beside myself.
