	I have used C-tree under two operating systems (if you count DOS).
They are SCO-Xenix and DOS networks. I have nothing but praise for the 
product. Once you get it installed it's just another C library. Applications
written with C-tree can be muti-user or whatever. The ideas behind the package
are really good and the speed of it is blinding(At least the Xenix Version).
The documentation is'nt great but once you're used to it it's not bad. The 
support from Faircom is also good, but a maintience agreement is required. 
As far as reliablity and stablity are concened the package passes with good
grades ! All in all I strongly recomend it !
