A truly public domain clone of ndbm is available: it is sdbm. it is
ftp-able from nexus.yorku.ca under pub/oz. If you cannot ftp it, let me
know, and I will mail you a copy.

A more powerful and fast alternative is berkeley "hash" (or dynahash)
package, ftp-able from ucbarpa under 4.3 (hash.tar.Z). It comes with an
ndbm emulation.

There is also something called gdbm.
