Open source to boot, eh?

The Cheetah database engine has actually been free for about a year now.

Planet Squires' web site wrote:Cheetah Database System - Open Source. Extremely small and fast xBase, FoxPro compatible programmer's library. This is a completely new code implementation that is totally different than the Freeware version of Cheetah Database that is also available. The open source code base will be expanded upon as time goes on. The Freeware version is no longer maintained except for occasional bug updates.

Cheetah Database System. (Freeware) This database and indexing system provides a low-level API for the programmer who demands the ultimate in speed, performance and flexibility. Store thousands of records in a blink of an eye - create blazingly fast indexes and perform queries on the data - all in milliseconds. Before you spend hundreds of dollars on other products, take Cheetah for a test drive. At only 70K, this database system is an incredibly small and powerful database system.

I use Cheetah DB in one of my programs. I like it. Its only drawback as far as I'm concerned seems to be that it's Windows only. If someone needs help with it I can probably help.

Have you a wrapper for cheetah4.dll?
I have written one, but doesn't work

I used the Cheetah2PureBasic wrapper that is available at the PlanetSquires site.

Edit: I haven't looked at the open source version and don't know if Cheetah2PureBasic would work with it.

Probably won't since, as Paul says, the OpenSource version is all new code.
