I've downloaded it and have a made an embryonic slang module for it, which
you can find at http://www.cheesit.com/downloadfiles/slang/itzam.tgz

It's a rather low level library, and the documentation isn't too well
edited - what to think of

itzam_btree_iterator_move_next

  Move to the previous record in sequence. If the position is at the 
  beginning of the list, it returns ITZAM_AT_END.
...
  Return Value
    ITZAM_OKAY if the function succeeded
    ITZAM_AT_BEGIN if the iterator is already at the end of the list
    ITZAM_UNKNOWN the function failed; datafile is in an unknown state

Anyway, I think this could be used to make a kind of MV database module,
maybe I'll do some more work on this in the next few weeks.
