I've been using the SoftFocus B-tree library for years and have from time
to time thought of adding an ISAM layer on top of it. How does SoftFocus'
own ISAM relate to the B-tree package? Does it use it, or is it a free-
standing package? And... does it support duplicated keys (this is my main
problem with the bare B-tree library)?
