Yes, but an Obj-C wrapper around database x is a lot less than what

I agree completely and would love to have EOF, as I stated. I don't really
know how to go about asking for it. Does anybody know what the best way of
complaining about it is? I saw someone mention filing a bug report, is that
the correct way of doing it? I would like to make my voice heard by Apple
in hopes of getting Obj-C EOF back as part of Cocoa.

In this particular case, the original poster wanted a small, embedded
database that would handle 5000 or so records. I was just responding to
that. I have the same need. Of course EOF using the flat file database
adapter would be a much nicer solution in this particular case.

Agreed.
