- So... who wants a database? No one? Well, this one won't do your
- taxes or draw pretty pictures for you-- this is the engine, working
- with relations faster than you can say HoHoHo (it's Santa time, isn't
- it? 8-} ). Adds commands to C for adding, updating, deleting and
- retrieving records from included-utility-built relations, designed
- from close-to-english schemas. It actually looks/feels a good deal like
- one of Informix (c)'s line of products, from what I've seen. But I
- guarantee it costs less. :-)
-
- Verified to work with Amigas (designed for 'em) and Unix V -- haven't
- had a failure yet, actually. Technically it should work with IBM's
- and Atari ST's and anything with a C compiler that does lseek and
- read/write. There are no real compiler-dependent tricks used in the
- code, so it should be terminally spread-around-able. There's a Makefile
- included for Unix users, and a ReadMe for everyone.
