Hiya Neil,

One of the most common problems with gdbm is using the wrong version. The

version needs to be 1.7.3 not 1.8  For more detailed info on LDM  using

gdbm go to : http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpsedocs/ghdecoders.html and

enter gdbm for the search.

Robb...

Should endian-ness be an issue? Peter's comments in the source code
file README.linux (ver 4.10) suggests that it shouldn't be an issue.
