What you just grabbed is propriatery code made accessible probably because
of some major oversight. There is _no version_ of original dbm/ndbm that is
legally distributable to those who do not hold source licenses. There is,
however a PD clone that I wrote a year ago.

	I just looked in /bsd-sources on uunet; it looks like they have
put up stuff from the the 4.3 RENO release.  The code to implement dbm
in ndbm is there, but I could find nothing else.  Perhaps this is what
he found?
