we are working on the project which migrates the foxpro 2.6 database
to oracle 8i for which we require foxpro 2.6 data dictionary.Where it
is available
help us with the data dictionary.

FoxPro DOS and Windows type .DBFs really don't have a native data dictionary. The closet thing to it is the table field information in the "header" of each table. In FPD/W you can issue a LIST STRUCTURE (optionally to the printer or a file), use the AFIELDS() function, use the COPY STRUCTURE command or you can read in directly in the header using low-level IO.

mind. You won't get any of the relations out of it but you could easily
write a program that opens up each table and craetes an SQL script to
recreat it on Oracle
