I have been using VLIB 4.x for sometime now.  It's from Pathfinder Associates
and runs around $150 with source code, tech support, and free updates.  It does
all kinds of windowing, popups, dropdowns, form entries, lists, popsideways.
Basically anything (and more) you'd need for a good text GUI.  I highly recom-
mend it.  "VLIB 4.x the user interface library for C".

I have recently purchased MIX Software's C/Database Toolchest Library.  It
included comprehensive B-Tree and ISAM implementations all for $29.95 (I think).
They boast a manual of 350+ pages.  True, it has that many, but the manual is
really oriented towards beginning level programmers.  But you can cut through
to the chase and just flip through the reference sections (which are great) to
get to the meat of the thing.   Source code is available for $10 more.

One gripe I had about MIX's product was that they only supply the medium library
model (whereas VLIB supplies all library models)!  I suppose that is to encour-
age you to purchase their source code...

I also understand that there is a shareware package on wuarchive.wustl.edu in
the database area (I think) called BTREE11.  Don't quote me on the name, but it
is on the site.  It's a B+ Tree implementation that I have used in the past
for a project.  I tried contacting it's authors, but the number is out of
existance and the package is several years old.  But it works just fine!  Source
code is included.
