For a number of projects I need a PD or commercial isam-type indexed file
system manipulation tools written in C.  Capabilities should include at least
these:

	- 8 indexes / datafile
	- read modes: CURRENT,FIRST,LAST,NEXT,PREVIOUS,EQUAL(key),
	              GREATER(than key) and GREATER-or-EQUAL(than key) record
        - record length 1024 bytes or more
	- adding/deleting indexes after file creation
	- file recovery program(s) to reconstruct corrupted indexes
	- (multiuser capabilities, record locking etc.)
	- ported both to PCs (MS-DOS) and Unix/Xenix (sysV)

A typical application has 4 files and every file 2-8 indexes, 1-5 users
connected via PCs (MS-DOS/LAN applications) or terminals (Unix applications),
speed and reliability are needed.

For user interaction I need terminal interaction source (ported both to MS-DOS
and Unix/Xenix (sysV)).  It should support terminal funtion keys and diplay
attributes, handle screen as a form which has at least 64 independent fields.
Using multiple windows is a good feature.

All suggestions are wellcome, please respond with e-mail, I'll summarize
if something striking comes up.

Many thanks for your time...
