SoftFocus in Canada has a package that I have run under both UNIX
and MS-DOS.  Can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work under VMS.
It supports multi-user access, and variable length records.  Source
code is something like $200 with no royalties when including it in
a product.

I have been using their stuff for years.  It has proved to be very
reliable and they are fun people to deal with.  Here is the contact
information:
	SoftFocus
	1342 Stanbury Drive
	Oakville, ON L6L 2J5  CANADA
	(416)825-0903

They are a small company, Jon Simkins is the person who wrote most
of the code.
