- I've written (on the Mac) a multi-user classified ads publishing system
- using c-tree. I wrote my own object-oriented layer to group data files together
- and use techniques similar to dBase in that I have a fixed-length set of
- object fields in an ISAM file and variable length object data (2kb or more pre
- record) stored in a direct file. I have been VERY happy with the performance
- running over LocalTalk (230kb/sec) between Mac Classic clients and a IIci
- server, using AppleShare 3.
