I have missed something in this discussion.  Can someone fill in the
blanks for dbm/sdbm/dbz/ndbm?

Are these commercial/netware packages?

What are they supposed to do to C-news beyond the capability of the
software in the package?

I am not presently attempting to install C-news but garnering info for
that fateful event.  Thanks!!
