I downloaded "pathalias" source from BIX.  It compiles under Coherent
with very little tweaking required, and I was able to generate a table
of paths for all sites in the u_can_on map (Ontario, Canada).  However
the associated file 'makedb.c' that generates a 'dbm' database from path-
alias output won't compile because it requires the dbm library, libdbm.a.
I note that cnews uses 'sdbm' to search a dbm database.

Thus, two questions:
1) Is libdbm.a available on piggy or anywhere else?  If someone has it
   I'd like to get it, or its equivalent (including a man page if
   possible).
2) Is pathalias available on piggy?  (It wasn't on mwcbbs last time I
   looked).  If not, would someone, more familiar with ftp than me, like
   to upload it?  Looks like a lot of people might need it soon.
