We have an application that could make good use of generic ISAM files. Does anyone know whether there are any reuse components available that implement ISAM files. This must me a platform-independent implenentation. Shrink-wrapped, off-the-shelf, shareware, or freeware, I would be interested. -donn hines los alamos national laboratory (505)665-1455 FTS 855-1455

The authors distribute a disk of software for $35.00 that goes with the book; this includes - apparently - ISAM, B-tree, and other routines. I don't have the software (yet) so I can't comment on the quality, but it's a starting point. The book suggests you call or write Nancy E. Miller Computer Science Dept. P.O. Drawer CS Mississippi State Univ. Mississippi State, MS 39762 601-325-2756 NEMILLER@MSSTATE.BITNET The software on the disk - say the authors - has been tested under Meridian. Also, there's a lot of code in the appendix. Has anyone out there used it? Mike Feldman
