There was a post to comp.sources.misc in January for a Unix-compatible relational database... I have installed for use on a SUN 4 machine. I am having trouble getting Metalbase to correctly ADD (mb_add routine) and RECALL (mb_sel routine) records that have large number of fields such as 10-12 fields... Metalbase seems to work for about 4 fields but not for 10+ fields... I checked the source code and it has a constant definition of 30 fields max (I assume this can be changed). Has anyone had any trouble with this?? When I try recalling the record, Metalbase only returns the LAST FOUR fields of the record and not all 10 of them... I've tried emailing the author but it appears that his email addresss is invalid (I tried both in the docs). Does anyone know his new email address (Richid Jernighan is the author)? Thanks in advance!
