I downloaded CBase as suggested by Caesar above and it looks pretty 
good.   I presently own C Database Toolchest I bought for use with Turbo 
C years ago.  I like the Mix package but have been unable to move it to 
DJGPP because there is no canned make file for this compiler.  I don't 
have the knowlege/experience to manually recompile the library without 
an explicit set of instructions.

Currently doing my thing on Windows ME (DOS box), but will be moving 
over to XP on a new computer.

Thank you for your reply.
