a strong, quick, freeware ISAM (to essex, Parhs, human)
from splugenbrau at forum.peoplecards.ca

Hie folks,
I'm writing about CISAM Files Forum of (2010/11/14) to (2011/6/29).
This e-mail to indicate Real ISAM URL:
http://www.alpes-software.com/realisam/
I'm not more than a beginner at C language and this is only a suggest:
might the Real ISAM work for cobc compiler?
One more thing: forbidden duplicates in primary keys is not a big deal
when programming COBOL (not to me).
Greetings.

Re: a strong, quick, freeware ISAM (to essex, Parhs, human)
I've took a look at this software years ago. It could be useful and seems like an alternative to current ISAM implementations. But:
- only WIN-support
- quite different from C/D/VBISAM --> quite a lot of changes necessary

These are the reasons why I did not start to put this into fileio.c - if somebody wants to do this I may could give him some hints about how to do that, help him to get the dev environment working, would test it and try to merge the source parts into 2.0 sources (do necessary changes and submit a patch to Roger). But I'll surely not add this (because of the given reasons) "just because it could be nice".
If somebody has the time to add patches I think it's more worth to put the efforts into split key support (needs not only C knowledge but understanding of OCs bison parser) or VBISAM patches, ...
