It is similar in scope to commercial database engines, although not as feature rich. It compiles cleanly under Linux, Solaris (using GCC) and DJGPP, although it should be portable to any environment with a port of GCC. You can get the sources from http://w3.tvi.cc.nm.us/~dmay/dcdb.zip or http://w3.tvi.cc.nm.us/~dmay/dcdb.tar.gz The home page for this project is http://w3.tvi.cc.nm.us/~dmay/dcdb.html DCDB unpacks into a directory tree that is unique to the product and NOT like the one used by DJGPP. Please do not install DCDB in your DJGPP home directory! Also, the library files all have DOS compatible 8x3 names; however, some of the sample files have longer names and will not work correctly under DOS. Also, the pack functionality creates temporary names that are not DOS compatible. If there is enough interest, I will change the library to accomodate DOS 8x3 naming conventions (I don't need it myself). For now, however, assume that this must be compiled under Win95 with LFN=Y in djgpp.env. If you run the tests under Win95, you may need to change the memory settings for your DOS window. Some of the samples require more memory than 16Megs, which is the optimal setting for DJGPP. So, to run the samples, change your DPMI memory settings for the window to auto and that should allow you to run all of the samples (assuming you have 32 Megs of RAM or more :o). DCDB has not been tested on a machine with less than 64 Megs of RAM, although I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on such a machine. Read the README file in the distribution for instructions on compiling DCDB and generating the Documentation. The docs require TeX/LaTeX.
