ISAM.C
by John M. Dashner
An Approach to Supporting Indexed Sequential in C
This archive contains a number of C functions which when debugged
will support Indexed Sequential files of arbitrary length. It was
"translated" from another language (which I will not admit to
knowing) and will need some debugging since the time I thought I
would have to work on it has not materialized. I therefore place
it in the Public Domain and hope some inveterate tinkerer will
"fix" it and I can download it with no further worry on my part.
Boy wouldn't it be nice if all software could be developed this
way??
The code should be fairly comprehensible as I do not try to be
cute or wickie when I code. A couple of points should suffice:
. Keys are for some reason only my subconcience knows
limited to 64 bytes in length.
. You must manage the data file -- ISAMC handles only the
keys retaining the record number of the data file.
If someone gets this working, it probably would be a good thing
to write some documentation. Any takers??
My intent as far as coding anomalies are concerned was to compile
this under Lattice C.
Good Debugging!!! John Dashner (404) 476-1797
