TOPIC -----------------------------------------
Does Apple have anything comparable to B-trieve from Softcraft (sold by
Novell)? Apparently, it gives C programmers access to retrieval functions
for Novell file services?
DISCUSSION ---------------------------------------------
B-trieve is a B-tree indexing system for MS-DOS. Softcraft-Novell are
planning to develop B-trieve for the Macintosh. When a Macintosh version is
completed, both Macintosh and MS-DOS applications using B-trieve will be
able to access the same files.
There are B-tree indexing products available for Macintosh. These are not
specific to a Novell environment and will not work with Softcraft's B-trieve
product.
- db_VISTA v. 3.0 is a database development environment using B-tree
indexing in the C language from Raima Corp.
- C-Data Manager has B-Tree indexing with multiple keys from Database
Technologies
- C-Tree File Handler provides low-level B+Tree utilities from Faircom
- Turbo Pascal Database Toolbox uses B-tree indexing methods from Borland
International
