C-TREE from Faircom systems is also pretty good.  As I recall, the source
code lists for $395, and can be ported to about any (professional) MS-DOS
compiler, UNIX, 68k boxes (they have a Mac edition), etc...  Oh yeah-- the
manual lists one function per page, in alphabetical order-- some people like
this style, others don't.
Other than using C-TREE at work, I have no connection with Faircom.
Also, I should note that there update from version 3.3 to 4.1 wasn't
entirely smooth, as we found some changes in the library only after we had
burnt a CD-ROM...(thankfully we were able to work around the changes...)
But then again, we use the low-level tools, not the high-level ISAM
toolbox.
