------------
I am posting this for someone with no direct access to
USENET.  Please reply to the address below:
-------------------------------------

I need pointers to literature or implementations of
4.2bsd-based database systems built on top of the UNIX
filesystem which are capable of handing some or all of:

	- fast i/o of large numbers of *varying length* records.
	- records sizes from a few bytes to many pages.
	- some provisions for locking.
	- some backup/checkpointing capability. 
	- guarantees of atomicity of transactions.
	- traditional db concerns: verification, authentication, etc.

Any information which anyone can provide about db systems which come
close to fitting these requirements and are available for us
to customize would be greatly appreciated.
