Is there a better, more sophisticated DBMS than DBASEll for an IBM-PC or
MS-DOS machine?

That is, can anyone recommend a DBMS that has the command language,
memory variables, etc. of DBASEll and: (in order of importance)

Has audit trail/backup recovery capability.
More easily incorporates calls to other languages (C, Basic, etc).
Can be called from another another language.
Handles more than two files at once.

I have seen one or two magazine articles which claim to compare DBMSs
for the PC but since they dont seem to list the proper features for the
DBASEll that I know in the CPM world, I dont find the listings too
useful.  Therefore I would most appreciate personal experience
evaluations.

Thank you,
Mike Slade
