Back in the old days (through Magic 5), the combination of Magic and
Btrieve was "rock-solid" - When something didn't work, it was because
of something I did wrong - virtually without exception.

Recently, however, I'm seeing an increasing number of
significant problems on the maillist related to the combination of
Magic 7-8/Btrieve 6.15/7 on multiuser systems. Some of the issues
relate to speed, others to record and file locking. I have the
uncomfortable feeling that many of the issues raised are not curable
by "tuning", but are the result of design problems in Magic or Btrieve
(or both).

Clearly the correspondence here is heavily weighted toward solving
problems, and in that context I'd be interested in hearing about
"success stories" - that is, large multiuser systems which work
quickly and reliably - and how you got them to function that way.

Thanks in advance.
