ndbm won't cut it, what now?

[Wm E. Davidsen Jr]

  The secret to having multiple keys in a dbm database is to use the
first byte as the key type. It's that easy, and works very nicely
thanks.

  I did some limited testing of dbm and gdbm, and found that while gdbm
kept the file size way down, the build time was a lot longer.
