- A few 4GL tools I am looking at support access to a 'virtual relational
- database' via Unix C-ISAM files. I have data in a flat file, fixed-length,
- character record structure which was unloaded from a non-relational database
- and can be reloaded into a relational database, but I don't necessarily
- want to do this. I want to access it as an indexed file because I won't be
- going to it that often (i.e., it's an archive).
-
- Can somebody tell me how to convert this to an indexed file (C-ISAM)? Is
- there some public domain tool/utility or some Unix feature that will do
- this for me? Thanks!
