- Someone here (Paul Vixie? Chris Torek?) posted the new db code here;
- it's also available from archives. I wasn't too interested in it at the
- time, but I believe there was also a sendmail using the new db code in
- the source tree the new db code came from. Use archie to look for the
- new db code; that's how I found it. Sorry, but I can't remember the
- archive it was on.
-
- The db stuff is admittedly (in the comments) broken and crufty in the btree
- code, but ok otherewise. You really do need the new code.
-
- Hope this helps.
