I am looking for a PC database package with a 'C' interface and would very much appreciate hearing from anybody's experience with this package. The criterias that are important to me are stability of the product, speed, whether it runs well in a network environment with multiple users, how good are the tools for debugging and maintaining the data base, whether it will handle very large data base (larger than 100,000 records per files). I would also appreciate hearing about anybody's experience on other PC database package, good or bad experience welcom. Thank you in advance. Bich Nguyen (415) 859-2548

I have used C-tree under two operating systems (if you count DOS). They are SCO-Xenix and DOS networks. I have nothing but praise for the product. Once you get it installed it's just another C library. Applications written with C-tree can be muti-user or whatever. The ideas behind the package are really good and the speed of it is blinding(At least the Xenix Version). The documentation is'nt great but once you're used to it it's not bad. The support from Faircom is also good, but a maintience agreement is required. As far as reliablity and stablity are concened the package passes with good grades ! All in all I strongly recomend it !
