A C library with an associated C++ class library that provides a database engine for your applications, in addition to OS/2 the e_Comm library originally supported DOS and 32 bit & 16 bit versions of MS Windows and WinOS/2. In addition to C and C++ the library provided API support for Java and Visual Basic. In addition to its own propriety database file formats the engine will work with xBase (.dbf) files.
Around 2002 the support for the library was extended to include support for Linux, Windows CE and Mac OS, that included full multi-threaded file operation under all systems, in a similar time frame the support for DOS and 16 bit Windows 3.x/WinOS/2 was dropped.
