I'm running a newsfeed onto my 386 machine and rnews is taking its
disk for a spin. I'm told that I need to use the dbm library and this
will make things much better.
So, would someone tell me where to find it?

Right you are, it's Microport. But I do recall that someone has
written dbm, or enough of it for news; with any luck, I'll hear from
someone about it.

The problem is that it isn't in any of the indexes I have and since I
have indexes for most everything that has been posted, I presume it
hasn't been posted. This means either calling every system I have
listed (expensive!) or asking.
Eventually, I'll get around to getting listings from archive sites
and then posting them. That should make life easier for all.
Speaking of which, I haven't recently seen one of your listings either
in this group or mine; would you care to send one to me? I'll post it.
(Even if it isn't in my fancy format. Anything is better than
nothing.)

Terry Hull, ksuvax1.cis.ksu.edu!eecea!terry, sent me a copy of Jon
Zeeff's, umix!b-tech!zeeff, dbz.c. This is not a complete dbm
replacement, but it is sufficient for the news software.
Thanks guys.

YOU must do this and then it all works.

What I did was to delete my old history directory and run expire -r.
That created a new set of history files. BTW, this dbminit routine is
just following its spec: the dbm routines are defined to not create
those files.

A note for people running System V/386, enabling DBM routines caused the post optimizer to generate some bad code. The symptom was that the ID information that's written into the history file is trashed, consequently duplicate articles aren't rejected, etc. My solution was to compile without -O. -- -- uunet!ficc!karl "The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious -- karl@ficc.uu.net encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding." -- Justice Louis O.

I'm using Microport's latest Unix (3.0e) which has the Green Hills compiler along with the regular one. I use that and my history file seems OK. --- Bill { uunet!proxftl | novavax } !twwells!bill
