Access to database local tables from MS-DOS application

How can I acquire access to Database local tables from an MS-DOS
application ?
I am particularly interested in Dbase tables .
The application will be the result of porting a BCB4 application and I
will be using BC 5.0.

Thank you for any help,

It has been a while since I have worked with DOS,  but you might try
looking into CodeBase from Sequiter Software.  

I know that the CodeBase v5 files worked with BC++ V4.5x (and I believe
DBase files).  Their newer version will probably work with BCB,  but I have
not used them sine my DOS days either...

I am afraid that the BDE (which is commonly used in BCB apps) is a windows
only database engine,  and requires windows in order to work...
