Being without dbm on this System V Unix seems to be a disadvantage. Would anyone try to convince me that it is not a disadvantage? Can someone suggest a way to add the dbm library? Where can I find the necessary source to accomplish this? Is dbz an acceptable alternative? It seems to work well for cnews.

Dbz is a very fast but limited subset of dbm (although I've been thinking about adding more functions). For general use, I'd recommend the gnu dbm or sdbm. -- Jon Zeeff (NIC handle JZ) zeeff@b-tech.ann-arbor.mi.us
