I am in need of a PD program to allow read/write access to dBase III (and
above) files. I only need very basic routines, as all I am doing is
transfering some records from my database format to dBase's for easier
use.
Thanks,
Robert

There are two of them here in funic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100) via anonymous ftp. They are both Shareware (at least the more complex) and located in pub/msdos/turbopas as tpdb31.lzh and dbsrch.lzh. The previous is quite versatile almost dBASE compatible DB handler and the last is collection of searching routines for .DBF files. -- Petri Hartoma, Tre University of Technology, ph62303@tut.fi, ph62303@tut.UUCP, mcsun!tut!ph62303, msdos1@funic.funet.fi (PD Group: public@tut.fi) Moderating MSDOS material in funic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100)

I don't know of any Public Domain software, but you might be interested in the C/Database Toolchest from Mix Software ( 1-800-333-0330 ). The package contains routines for converting to and from Dbase III files along with a pretty good ISAM file manager. The price is $19.95, and they probably should have charged more to avoid the perception that this is "cheap" software. I recommend this package to anyone who is interested in learning about data base internals. John Reynolds Standard disclaimer applies and I don't even know anyone who works for Mix software.
