Well, on IRIX from Silicon Graphics (not exactly a company known for its
database prowess ..) there is an ISAM library that comes with the fortran
compiler. Admittedly you have to look for it, the first I noticed of it
was the recommendation to add -noisam to the fortran compile statement
to reduce the size of compiled programs - shows you the vast market for
isam.
