I am looking for a good library for working with various data structures
and data bases within C.

I am writing some of these (for linked lists and simple binary trees)
but am wondering if I am wasting my time recreating the wheel.

I would like a package something like to database tools for Turbo Pascal
on the PCs but perhaps at a lower level.  Specifically, I need stuff to
work with various forms of linked lists, trees, hashes, and especially
B+Trees.  (As well as the usually sorting routines.)

If someone can save me some time by suggesting a good package (either PD
or commercial) or book which contains routines I could port, 
I would be greatly appreciative.

Assuming that no such package is available, can anyone give me individual
routines along these lines.  If there is interest (e-mail me please) I
will collect, document, and post the resulting library in about 4 or 5 
months (when I get back from my work term).
