I just tried reading a dbz history file with the dbm routines in Perl.
It didn't work, which didn't suprize me.  So, has anyone hacked perl
to understand dbz files?  Maybe a dbzopen() could be added?  Since
Perl is such a report-based utility, I think it should be included.
Comments Larry?

[DBZ is a DBM replacement that comes with the latest Cnews.  It's
much faster than dbm for news applications.]
