You can find sources for the GNU dbm library at ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/gnu/gdbm-1.7.3.tar.gz If you're developing new software, you might want to look at the db library instead, it features a number of enhancements over the capabilities of dbm. See the man page for dbopen(3) and follow the SEE ALSO captions. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
