OIC.....I was thinking about using C as the primary language.  Glad to hear
that C supports the database packages you mentioned above.  Anway, can you give
me some pointers where I can learn more about berkeley db and SQL?  Just don't
want to always ask without learning by myself first.  BTW, I was playing with
ncurses, and found that it's pretty powerful.  But when it comes to displaying
color and ASC_lines, it doesn't display stuff correctly under some terminals,
not even in Xterm.  Again, is there any howto that I can follow?  I was just
looking into the sample codes to learn, so I couldn't figure out all the functions'
meanings.  Any pointers?
