SS-File, the shareware flat-file database for Linux is now in the
Sunsite FTP area.
Connect to: sunsite.unc.edu
change to directory: /pub/Linux/apps/databases
for a file called: SS-File-0.1.tar.gz.
SS-File from Southwest Software is a flat-file database manager
program for Unix designed to provide simple data storage without
having to load large, expensive, complicated RDBMS or SQL packages.
With SS-File you are up and running immediately upon downloading the
SS-File program file.
In SS-File you can define the fields of your file, open your file
for editing, list records from your file to the screen or printer
and import or export your data file to and from comma-delimited ASCII
files. With SS-File you can add new records, edit existing data,
delete records. You can find a data record based on lookup indexes and
even scan forwards and backwards through your data records within your file.
SS-File is perfect for the first time Unix computer user or the expert
who needs a database for simple non-relational data. System
administrators may want to provide SS-File for those users who don't
need the power of a large package and just need to be able to use
their Unix workstation for simple data entry. SS-File does not try to
compete with the large major RDBMS programs out there, but rather
fill a need for a simple, ready to run, flat file database manager.
Sort of the "PC-File" of the Unix computer.
