I am looking for a database engine with a C programming interface to it.
I want to get out of the mode of writing custom code every time I need to
read/write data to a file.

Briefly my requirements are:
	a) Compact code size.  If it adds more than 100k to my program it
	   is probably too big.
	b) Source code available.  This is mostly a support issue.
	c) No royalties for distributing it as part of a compiled program.
	d) Initial cost is not an issue.
	e) Works in a dos environment.
	f) Must support variable length records.

To give you an idea of how I envision using the database, my latest
project is an interactive program to maintain a recipe database.

Suggestions/comments?
