I used to program extensively in Btrieve (originally Softcraft? then Novell, and now back to another company name when Novell spun it off). Btree is simply an efficient file indexing system available from many companies typically in programmer toolkit forms. It would be relatively straightforward to write a pgm in C or VB that would, using ODBC, read a record from an AS400 database and write it to your Btrieve database. Most ODBC software (like HiT ODBC) use DRDA to improve speed. I like the Btrieve brand because it pre-images all file changes so that you never have to worry about losing data when (not if) the system crashed (you know, when users press the ole CTL-ALT-DLT during file updates or power outages). Of course, ya can't CTL-ALT-DEL an AS/400 thank goodness (but why isn't CA/400 as durable as and AS/400?).
