This package compares quite well versus gdbm in both space and time. (There was some information presented at the Winter 1991 Usenix in Dallas which does not appear in the Proceedings. I vaguely recall a factor of either 7 or 17 difference in performance.) -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Lawrence Berkeley Lab CSE/EE (+1 415 486 5427) Berkeley, CA Domain: torek@ee.lbl.gov
