I can't speak to the new Engine, but the old one would most certainly
work under Window; it came with a Windows DLL that you had to include
and you had to load SHARE (to keep from having multiple things smash
your DB, I assume).

Fred.McCall@dseg.ti.com - I don't speak for others and they don't speak for me.

The engine comes with a DLL so it is ment to be used with Windows. I decided
not to use it because it was paradox.  The dBase format is much more flexible
with its indexes.  

I'm using Codebase 4.5 write now(Codebase 5.0 is on order) to access dBase files.
It comes with the source so you can recompile it if desired.  It can also
access Fox and Clipper formats.  And more importantly it comes with a C++ 
interface as well as a C interface.

Cheers
