I am using it for a few simple databases here.  I had to totally replace
the b-tree routines because they failed with large files, and I didn't have
the time to find the bug.  I replaced them with a set of b-tree routines
I got from the net.  The conversion took about 2 hours.

Yes, I am interested in a mailing list.  Sign me up if it gets started.
