- An Approach to Supporting Indexed Sequential in C
-
-
- This archive contains a number of C functions which when debugged
- will support Indexed Sequential files of arbitrary length. It was
- "translated" from another language (which I will not admit to
- knowing) and will need some debugging since the time I thought I
- would have to work on it has not materialized. I therefore place
- it in the Public Domain and hope some inveterate tinkerer will
- "fix" it and I can download it with no further worry on my part.
- Boy wouldn't it be nice if all software could be developed this
- way??
-
- The code should be fairly comprehensible as I do not try to be
- cute or wickie when I code. A couple of points should suffice:
-
- . Keys are for some reason only my subconcience knows
- limited to 64 bytes in length.
-
- . You must manage the data file -- ISAMC handles only the
- keys retaining the record number of the data file.
-
- If someone gets this working, it probably would be a good thing
- to write some documentation. Any takers??
-
- My intent as far as coding anomalies are concerned was to compile
- this under Lattice C.
