Hi; I'm posting this for a colleague (David Tessman) of mine who is
working on a project such that pointers to sources of the following
information would be very helpful to him.
I hope I am posting this to the correct newsgroup(s); as I indicated,
I am doing this on behalf of someone else: I do not have occasion to
read the newsgroups where things that are this specific to IBM
environments are likely to be dicussed. My apologies if Ii have
offended anyone.
Please direct responses to the e-mail address given below -- THANKS!

I am trying to find out if there are some C calls (subroutines) that
will access dBase files, formats, and command sets. For instance, I use
dBase III to create a file with indexing and everything; want construct
a C program that will, when given a "key", return a pointer to the
record and stuff like that.
I am looking for sources. Needs to run under PC-DOS and MS-DOS.
Currently we have a dBase III compiler that takes dBase III commands
and turns them into a program that is executable under MS-DOS. This is
*not* what is needed.
Also need a whole slew of database manipulation functions for MS-DOS
written in C; used dbm -- are there any others; where do I look...?

I grabbed a C routine off of some bb awhile back. It looks like it does basically what you want (ie. reads a dbase file). it was called dbdump and ran under MSC4.0 i believe. I will try to dig it up if you want. Greg Twaites SICOM Inc. ...!ihnp4!sun!sunburn!sicom!twaites
