[comp.sys.mac.programmer] MPW C ISAM Tools

nopuklic@ndsuvax.UUCP (Blayne Puklich) (06/15/88)

     Does anyone know of a set of ISAM (or B-tree, or any other file
organization method) utilities that are written in MPW C?  I desperately
need to find some routines that will work with Appletalk, and allow
multiple writers per file with locking at the record level.  It would
also be helpful if the routines allowed variable-length records (as you
may have noticed I don't need much ;-).

     Any help with locating some that are written in MPW C I sure would
appreciate, since I definitely do NOT want to reinvent the wheel as the
saying goes.  I've found two from APDA, but they're written in MPW Pascal
and I don't have that compiler.

Thanks in advance!

Try Faircom's Ctree, $395 for full source.  It's supposed to run everywhere.
I'm going to get it to run on MPW today (I think); I'll let you know if it
doesn't work!

The source code for a B-tree ISAM package was recently posted on
comp.sources.misc: v03i049: btree library. It is worth checking out, since
it is free, before you spend $395.00 for that commerical product.
