Informix C-ISAM should fit the bill. It's not a database in itself, but a fast indexed sequential access method callable from C. The current DOS version is 3.10.06C. You can use this version with MS C 4.0, 5.0, or 5.1. C-ISAM is also available for just about every flavor of UNIX. If you decide you need a full database later on, the full SQL product line is also available in DOS. ESQL/C (embedded SQL for C) is probably most likely to fit your needs there. -- Alan S.
