With a straight ndbm, it shouldn't even compile, because the function names are different. If it compiles, it ought to work -- under 4.3, dbm is supposed to be implemented using ndbm, so a dbm-like interface found in ndbm presumably is identical to dbm. -- "The N in NFS stands for Not, | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology or Need, or perhaps Nightmare"| uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
