More OT but I have to chime in ... I also used B-Trieve in the 80's. Not much as a true developer -- it was used in a system I had to maintain for a while. There was one function call, so I guess you can't get much simpler than that.
Here's where I got a shock that I never verified was true: Once when our Exchange Server (MS mail) went down, I was talking to the systems guy and he said that every so often "the B-Trieve tables got hosed." That's a little frightening if it's true. ---- Steve Sapovits Global Sports Interactive Work Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work Phone: 610-491-7087 Cell: 610-574-7706 Pager: 877-239-4003 > -----Original Message----- > From: Mayes, Iman [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 5:39 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: What is Betrive? > > > A little OT, but it is actually being used in a production software > package called Teleform from Cardiff software.
