OVERVIEW
========

  This package implements a bridge to the dbm libraries.
  The interface is wrapped in STklos abstract classes, <dbm>.

  Currently, it works with gdbm, ndbm and original dbm interface.

  This distribution is a first wrap-up; the author only tested
  on Linux (RedHat6.1 distribution) with gdbm-1.8.0.  Things may
  not work straight on the other platforms.


REQUIREMENTS
============

  STk 4.0.1 or later

  serializer package, availabe at http://www.shiro.dreamhost.com/scheme/

=======

  (1) ungzip and untar the package, and cd to `dbm' directory

  (3) `make' compiles some DSO files.
  (4) `make test' runs some test. (you can skip this step)
  (5) `make install' copies files into the place where your stk
      is installed.
