	It seems that SCO has changed some of the dbm subroutines
between release 2.2 and release 2.3 of the Development System.  The
new routines are not compatible with the old ones so if you have
made a database using the old compiler, any program compiled with
the new one will not fetch properly.

	One good thing is that the .pag file is about half as small
in the new compiler so they obviously did some optimization.
