Summary: why bother with dbm?

Can't help you there, but do you really need to use dbm? I
just ran pathalis to produce a text file, ran sort on the file,
and use look(1) to extract sites quickly with binary-search.
(We have a "uupath" shell file which basically just runs
look $1 /u/map/uupath.)

By the way, look at the References line above. Has okstate really
posted 26.5 million articles? :-)
