I am looking for a DBMS package that can give me access to its library
routines in C.  I am not looking for a 4GL!  We have an application that
needs to be ported to a multiuser Unix environment on a mix of machines.
The application is currently written using Btrieve.  So what we would
really like is something like Btrieve that can run first on Sun-3's, but
soon we will be supporting another Unix box, so ideally we can buy source
code and modify for our other box...  So they can be somthing like
binary-tree driven dbm...  One more time, I don't want to see a 4GL with
bogus C access like it was an afterthought...  I need to have the library
be the primary product.  I did hear something about Informix C-Isam code,
but they were too busy pushing their 4GL to let me see the C-Isam stuff...
Please respond to me directly and if there is enough interest I will be
more than happy to post a summary to the net.  Thanking you all in advance!
