It is a memory hog - about 400K. Also, it is nowhere near full SQL. It works, tho, and it's cheap. I bought my copy from E. Arthur Brown for $25. It is supposed to be compatible with RegentBase files, but I can't comment on that since I don't have RegentBase. I'm not sure that posting works properly from this machine - let me know if this gets through. I'll upload a sample C program later, if this posting makes it. -- Ron DeBlock N2JSO ...!rutgers!galaxy!argus ron@wilbur.njit.edu
