Well, if it's specific to RedHat, it's not clear how well it will work on other Linux distros - like FreeBSD :-). > I guess finally after 15 years I will have to give up on Btrieve since they don't seem > to have their act together with a native version for FreeBSD... One of the things I found attractive about FreeBSD was JKH's approach of encouraging vendors to support Linux in general, and then making the emulator work well enough to support other applications. You might try checking with the emulators list (I'm not sure of the exact address) to see if anyone has done anything with Btrieve before. Personally, I'm about to emark on trying to convince a Linux DTP package to run on FreeBSD.
