Can anyone recommend any database development libraries for DOS?  I want to
develop a small database system (that is now running under Smart).  I need
more control over the database, and need to add some features that Smart
doesn't offer.  The lib doesn't have to be Smart compatible, but I guess
that would be nice.

One of our developers has used Borland Paradox, with the standalone
runtime.  I understand it has a Borland Engine that provides 'C' routines,
but does not work with the runtime.  Is that correct?  

As a developer, a set of tools to develop standalone applications would be
very interesting and I want to hear about those.  This particular one, however 
is a personal system that I use for myself.  Since it is personal, cost is
more of an issue.

Shower me with solutions.

Thanks,

Weaver
