Hi Nik.  Standard NTX files use a modified b-tree approach.  The
problem is the word "modified". :)  I don't want to hack it to figure
out what mods they did.  I know a few guys who know and will ask them.
I'll let you know what I find out in the DIGITALK forum on CIS.
There's also fellow in the Delphi forum who is doing a dll which might
be useful.  I forgot his name but it's free/shareware/whatever, and
I'm on his list.
