This is a DJGPP port of GNU gdbm 1.8.3.

  The most important user visible change between this port and the previous one
  is that the dbm and ndbm specific functions have been moved into a separate
  library.  This means that there are two libraries now:
    - libgdbm.a containing all gdbm specific functions and
    - libgdbm_compat.a containing all dbm specific functions

  If you need to compile and application using the old unix dbm functions
  you will have to use a command like this:
    gcc application.c -lgdbm_compat -lgdbm

  Now you will have access to the dbm compatibility functions. Please note,
  that these compatibility functions are mapped to the equivalent gdbm functions
  so you must link both libraries in the order shown in the example above.

  Both libraries have been compiled with stock djdev203 so there is no
  file locking functionality available.


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