Then you could install MySQL or PostgreSQL. Or would you consider installing a MySQL server on your W2K machine? It's simple as pie. I don't have the exact specs for a comparison between MS Access and MySQL, but I can vouch for its speed and reliablilty, ESCPECIALLY compared to an MS Access Database and the kind of load that a MUD puts on the database. And I doubt there's a C API for MS Access floating around. ;) I could also provide you with the basics of how to get up and running with MySQL, including functions, and you could take a look at some of my files to get the saving and loading up and running.
