Description:  A New Hashing Package for UNIX(tm) (updates dbm/ndbm)

[ This is the latest version (some say the first stable version) of the
  Berkeley DB routines.  They replace the old dbm(3) and ndbm(3) libraries
  using some interface-compatible stub routines, but they are actually much
  more general than dbm(3)/ndbm(3) since they can be used to access normal
  text files (through the "recno" instance), B Trees, dbm(3)-style "hash"
  files, or new databases whose implementation you provide.  

  As some of you know, 4.4BSD was released recently, but due to the USL
  lawsuit against the U C Regents and BSDi, the Regents have decided to delay
  the release of the "unencumbered" (non-AT&T) portions of the system until
  the lawsuit is settled.  Keith Bostic of the CSRG has obtained permission
  to release some small parts of the system, including these routines.  They
  are subject to the usual licenses and disclaimers of UCB Net2-and-later code;
  this license is not very restrictive in my opinion -- read it for yourself.

  This library was written by Margo Seltzer, Ozan Yigit, and Keith Bostic.
  I've shown Keith as the "Submitter:" since he's the best point of contact
  for patches and enhancements and questions regarding this package.
