Also BTW, we did some more testing on the differences between gdbm and berkeley db. Gdbm wins *big* on disk space (like one less digit in the bytes column), and is not noticeably slower. It will probably be the default in 0.8. We'll also include a script to convert one to the other. Does anyone know how to reliably tell what database format a file is in? Are there constant magic numbers for gdbm and berkeley db? Would it be a good thing for nndb to automatically translate formats for you, if you start up with a different database type? -- Joe Hildebrand Fuentez Systems Concepts hildjj@fuentez.com Lead Software Engineer "Breakfast recapitulates phylogeny" - Spider Robinson
