Are there any other PE Edition 7 R2.4 systems running Honeyman's pathalias software? I am having some trouble when "fetch"ing some key values from the DBM database that is created. For example, when trying to "fetch" the data associated with the key `maryland' I get the following message: bad block uupath: IOT trap -- core dumped Note that of the 3010 sites on the network only about 15 of them give this error when being fetched. I have looked at the code, but it's just gibberish to me (at first reading anyway). Does anyone know of any known bugs that might cause this problem? Any fixes?

Can't help you there, but do you really need to use dbm? I just ran pathalis to produce a text file, ran sort on the file, and use look(1) to extract sites quickly with binary-search. (We have a "uupath" shell file which basically just runs look $1 /u/map/uupath.) By the way, look at the References line above. Has okstate really posted 26.5 million articles? :-) Dave Sherman -- {utzoo pesnta nrcaero utcs hcr}!lsuc!dave {allegra decvax ihnp4 linus}!utcsri!lsuc!dave
