If they are, I'll commit them. I've had one response to this so far, from Mike Pritchard (thanks Mike). He's corrected some of the macro use in the submitted documentation, but said he didn't do a technical review. So I'm still waiting for any DBM hackers out there to take the 10 minutes required to look at this. If there's no response in (say) 3 days, I'll commit Mike's cleaned up version -- if there are any inaccuracies, I'm sure the wider FreeBSD user base will let us know about them. . .
