xBase is like dBASE and Clipper, and Foxpro etc...

About Shelves. I haven't used them (.I a beginner.) but the
documentations says that: "The shelve module does not support
concurrent read/write access to shelved objects". Which will make it
unusefull for my purpose. It alse mention that using Unix filelocking
this could be solved, but (feel free to correct me) then you get
locking on file level not on record level

So to recap: I need a database that must be Multi-user with record
locking, but NOT Client/Server. ANYONE?
