While this hardly ranks up there with the $$ implementations of Ingres and
Oracle, I've begun toying (likely the right word for now) with the MIX
database toolkit from MIX Software in Richardson Texas. ($20 with source:-)

The kit contains a C*tree library and an ISAM library as well as a nice 
suite of sample applications and ample documentation (teaching oriented).
Also of use are conversion utils for DBASE-III files, and a forms oriented
data manager written with the system.  Licensing on the package is very
generous, to the tune of *you may not distribute anything in linkable
form*.  (sounds good to me)

My purpose in posting is to determine whether anyone who has gone further
than I in developing with the toolkit has discovered any significant holes
or problems.   My experience so far has been encouraging.
