4.1BSD comes with a subroutine library called "dbm".  I don't know if
anybody uses it, or if it's any good, but it provides a simple database
library.  I'm adding unix-wizards to the Newsgroups: to ask?
	Does anyone use it?
	Has anyone ported it to System V?

			Thanks;

It's as easy as 1-2-3, I mean cc -c dbm.c :-)  I brought up sendmail on
our System V release 2 68k port and as far as I can remember there were
no problems with dbm.  Taking care of the different flock semantics and
making syslog run over fifos was definitely more work.
