     Here at the University of North Carolina I am  involved
in  a  project which uses the Troll database handler written
by Anthony Wasserman, Kartin L. Kersten, and R.  P.  van  de
Riet.  We need information about Troll as to

(1)  how is its performance when it is used on large (500 or
     more  tuples)  databases,  i.e.  response time, storage
     requirements, etc..

(2)  What happens to the database in current use when the  C
     program  using Troll aborts or dies?  Does the database
     remain locked, how badly, if at all, does the  database
     get corrupted, etc..


     Please replay by mail to mes@unc or jml@unc.  If we get
     sufficient  response  for  a  summary, we'll post it to
     net.followup.

     As they say, thanks in advance.
