External Databases

I give NO PROMISES when or if this will ever get completed BUT!!!

    This is a step toward external databases.  I am writing some routines to
make handling of fixed record length database easy/easier.  IE: Structured
databases.

Yes, EDS does handle creation of its own format of Structured databases.
Yes, you can enforce fixed lengths on you record data using EDS.  Not
easily.
No,  EDS can not read any external databases.  Even if you know the
structure
  of the external database.
Yes, Euphoria can read external database.  However, You have to painfully
build
  the code to read these databases.

My question:  What is needed more?  What should I code first?
  A database reader or a database writer?
