I'm updating cnews with the January patches, and I'm curious about the
relationship between cnews and dbm/ndbm.  The system is a VAX running
mt. Xinu's 4.3.  It has both dbm and ndbm.

In the past, I've answered build's questions as if it was using dbm,
and it seemed to work alright.  This time, patched to current, I tried
making it use ndbm, but it doesn't seem to work.  Should I just switch
back to dbm-based build responses?  Is anyone using ndbm with cnews?
