It seems this subject has been covered before, so apologises, I didn't know.
I ftp'd various suggested packages.
The one I really liked was 'Typhoon'
from Thomas B. Pedersen <zeppelin@login.dkuug.dk>.
This is available from
sunsite.unc.edu under /pub/Linux/devel/db/typhoon-1.10.tgz
You build the DB using a database description language that understands
C Structures. It doesn't do locking yet but that isn't an issue for me.
There's then a C API. Features include duplicate secondary indices, which
is a must for my particular application. It's much better to use than C-ISAM.
David Muir Sharnoff passed on a useful document of PD UNIX DBs.The latest
version of the document can be ftp'd:
pub/free-databases from ftp.idiom.com.
Lots of people suggested:

Thanks again for this response.
