I am attempting to compile Spacewar on my AT&T Unix PC (aka 3b1). It references a library (dbm) that I don't have, and needs the routines: dbminit, store, fetch, delete, firstkey, and nextkey. What does dbm do? Is source code available? Can someone else with a Unix PC confirm that I'm not supposed to have this library already? Failing this, can someone describe the functionality of this library so I can duplicate it. Thanks in advance, Andrew Wilcox awilcox@eagle.wesleyan.edu

dbm: dbm is the data base library routines. It creates a hashed data file and index. You have to load and save the records with the dbm routines so that they are hashed correctly.
