- Thanks to all who replied.

- Three alternatives to ndbm were suggested:
-
- 1) gdbm - the gnu version of ndbm, which has a ndbm and a dbm interface
-
- 2) sdbm - also public domain source
-
- 3) kala - has more than basic storage/retrieval, such as
- transaction and versioning
-
- I have not yet gotten any information on kala (requestable from
- kala-request@world.std.com).
