I am considering moving to a product called D-ISAM which is supposed to be compatible with C-ISAM at the file and call level, and it is available in (purportedly portable) Unix source. Also, it can be distributed without royalties (in compiled form). I'd like to hear educated opinions on that subject ;-) -- Dieter Stoll -- Lennartz electronic GmbH +++ SEISMIC INSTRUMENTS +++ Bismarckstrasse 136 Phone: +49 - 7071 - 3088 or - 3089 D-7400 Tuebingen Fax: +49 - 7071 - 38468 Fed.
