I've written a very small library for persistent objects,
which uses a relational database to store the objects. But
I think, the database is not free (I'm not shure, because
it was created at our institute). Maybe I'll port it to
another database system, which should not be very difficult.
Or is anybody else interested to port my library ? I would
like to offer the source code under GPL or something like that.

Some details:

- It has been ported to the following platforms:
  * DJGPP 1.x and 2.x
  * LinuX (i386)
  * Sparc (SUNOS 4.1.3 and SOLARIS)
  * WIN 3.11, 95, NT (Borland C, Visual C++)
  * SGI
- It is 3 - 4 times faster (loading, writing objects ) than Poet,
  a commercial persistent object system.
- There already exists some documentation.
- Using our own runtime type information system, the database
  is portable between all platforms.
- It is used sine 1994 in several projects at our institute
  and works very stable.
