Information on CTRIEVE

[Bill Mellen]

Ctrieve is a product from Faircom www.faircom.com

This newsgroup is for an entirely different product called Btrieve from
Pervasive Software www.pervasive.com

Ctrieve is a C-Language database tool which runs on different platforms. If
you can access the Unix files with a 32 Bit Windows PC, you might be able to
use Faircom's ODBC driver to read the data and send it to your files.

All I can tell you is that it is an alternative DB back end. I remember it
was offered by Great Plains for customers not using Btreive. Pervasive
Software has nothing to do with it..

The product name is C-Tree, not ctrieve.

A search for C-Tree would eventually reveal
http://www.faircom.com
or fai...@faircom.com for email support.

Nice folks, competitive with btrieve in small applications, but I don't
think it is as scalable... (oops, I could be wrong).

I have an ancient c-tree running a canned application on unix SVR4.

This is the only reference to Ctrieve that Google could find. I don't know if anyone will see this 15 years after its original posting but I was just informed that ComputerEase Construction Accounting program is running on Ctrieve. I have heard of Btrieve but never Ctrieve. I am guessing that Ctrieve was invented as a database for punch card computing? Or it was invented for two or three guys running a BB on an IBM 386 using Windows 3.1 system 20 years ago? Someone tell me that ComputerEase is not running on a dinosaur database that even the creator of it has died without leaving documentation for it!

Thanks for allowing me to vent...
