Query about CODEBASE-4 "C" library

I'm considering purchasing the Codebase 4 "C" library for use in a large
data entry program that must interface with dBase 3+ files.  I've read the
advertisements in the computer magazines and it seems to be what I need
(i.e. dBase file reading and writing, screen management, and file locking
on a Novell network).  I'm not sure if it does the file locking or if I
need the screen management (character based windows ?).
  
I would appreciate any responses from people who have experience with this
package -or- any suggestions on appropriate libraries for dBase file
interaction with file locking for a Novell LAN, using Microsoft C 5 or 6.
  
I will summarize the responses and post on the net.
Please e-mail to me
                         jfp2276@hardy.u.washington.edu
 

This is my very first message on the net and I'm very curious on how
this networking stuff works out.  Thanks in advance.

p.s.  Does anyone dislike the vi editor as much as I do ???
