It is not impossible to do it in C, but I guess if you can
solve the cstring.h problem you will encounter others that make
you disappointed half away. I suggest that you change your code
from C to C++. It should not cause so much problem considering
the fact that if you want to use data aware controls you have
to use templates such as TTable wich are developed in C++ not
C. As another alternative you can program BDE directly. Sources
for doing so can be found in BDE32 subdirectory on the drive
which the compiler resides.
