- Faircom (makers of ctree Plus) have informed me they are coming out with
- Pascal interfaces for the ctree database engine. This product is robust and
- pretty fast multi-user. It provides true ISAM files as well as separate key
- and index file manipulation. Space reuse and variable record support is good
- and they offer leading key compression which results in significant space
- savings & performance enhancement for indexes with many entries alike in the
- first few characters.

- Contact Faircom at 314 445 6833 or 800 234 8180.

- I used the database for a multi-user classified advertising system running
- on Mac Classics over PhoneNet to a IIci server - response time has been
- excellent!
