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.
