There is a data base package called C-tree produced by Faircom.
Among other things it has the following features:

    1. Source is provided (written in C).  In fact that all you get,
       plus documentation, of course.

    2. It's designed to be quickly and easily ported to different
       operating systems (System V included).

    3. Record locking is supported (this depends on the OS).

    4. Variable length records are supported (I haven't used it, so
       wouldn't know how good this is).

    5. The btrees are maintained in disk files (data and index files
       are seperate).

    6. Virtual files are supported (if case you run into a limit on the
       number of files you can have open at a time).

    7. Low level btree support.  High level ISAM support.

    8. It's seems reasonably fast (on an IBM PC/XT).

    9. No royalties are required.

   10. I believe it costs $395 (sorry it's not public domain).

I have used on two projects and I am fairly pleased with it.  It's a nice
product.
