I'll post the code, it's not long.   It's got a few hacks in it they others
may find interesting.  Note that I use Mark Williams C.  The code is 
probably not directly portable as it depends on the order in which parameters
are passed.  You'll need to check on such things before using any other
compiler, but you should have no trouble.

RegentBase is NOT required.  Tool basically gives you one function by
which you pass SQL statements and get back results.  You can create
tables and do queries, including the various types of joins.   SELECTs
which return multiple rows do not behave in the usual manner.

Like you said, don't expect much.  But for $25, it's a good hack.
