I have written a DBMS for EDS, with a slightly extended database.e. There is
some documentation, not complete yet.

The DBMS does not keep track of field names, and has a specific record
'header' to each record (i.e. you cannot use it to manipulate a 'raw' EDS
database), although you can copy data in. Instructions can be typed in at a
command prompt or called from within your own program. It is effectively a
hierachical DBMS as you can link records into sets, as well as the usual
database commands.

I can only claim 'alpha' release status - is anyone interested in giving it
a whirl? It will take about a week to extend the documentation.
