Fellow human beings,

I've been all over the net looking for a simple database engine
that will run under UN*X (any flavor).  I've found something
called "mbase" (short for Metal Base) that doesn't work for didley.
And I've looked into Postgres, which is MUCH too large for
my needs.  I need source, and even shareware is fine.

Let me define what I see as a database engine.  I need something
of a C library that will just to create, closest match, findnext,
add, etc to (a) file(s), maybe with multiple keys.  It only has to
do string data types.

I'm burned out looking for something of this nature and would
really appreciate ANY help, even negative responses saying
there is no such thing.


Thanks in advance,

kenny.
