We've used a product called Code Base 4 from Sequiter Software. (for the
IBM PC).  I've only used the windowing functions that came with the package
and they were terrible.  The indexing functions do, however, let you work
directly with files in DBASE format.  Supposedly they've re-written the 
entire product to perform much better.  Who knows?
