A colleague is looking for C routines to access DBase III+ files. If anyone knows of such routines, commercial or otherwise, please email me. I will summarise, if there is enough interest. He's looking at writing a commercial program, so I think he'd be quite happy to spend some of his employer's money for useful stuff. Thanks, Peter

(for the IBM PC). I've only used the windowing functions that came with the package and they were terrible. The indexing functions do, however, let you work directly with files in DBASE format. Supposedly they've re-written the entire product to perform much better. Who knows?
