Subject:	ANNOUNCE: update of DJGPP port of GNU gdbm 1.8.0 uploaded
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is a bug fix release of the DJGPP port of GNU gdbm 1.8.0.

  The library will open and create now all database files in binary mode
  and handle paths in the correct way allowing mixed slash and backslash
  directory separators and checking for a colon as drive letter separator
  in the path. For a full list of the changes made, please inspect the diffs
  file located in the djgpp subdir. It contains a djgpp specific changelog.
  The opening of the database files in text mode instead of binary mode
  in the previous port has been a very serious bug making the old port
  completely useless.
  This implies that it is *seriously* suggested to every user who wants
  to seriously use gdbm in his applications to update to this package.
  This package also includes the binaries: conv2gdbm.exe, testdbm.exe,
  testndbm.exe and testgdbm.exe that will allow the user to test database
  files of different formats (dbm, ndbm and gdbm) and convert them to gdbm.

  The binaries, docs and source packages can be downloaded from Simtel.NET
  and mirrors as:
