ANNOUNCE: GDBM port to NT and Ada binding.

[Pascal Obry]

I have ported GDBM to NT and built a thin and thick Ada binding
to it. The binding should works fine under UNIX but this is not
tested. See:

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/pascal_obry/contrib.html

Here is the readme.txt:

Presentation
------------

In this package you'll find a port to NT of GDBM 1.8.0, the GNU data base 
manager, by Philip A. Nelson.

There is also a thin Ada binding to GDBM. A thick binding to GDBM named
AGDBM
is also provided with the same spec than ADBM (A light Ada implementation
of a
data base manager). AGDBM interface is close to the standard Direct_IO
package.

This is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty
of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  

With is inside this package:

	readme.txt		this file
	gdbm-1.8.0-nt.diff	patch file to build gdbm 1.8.0 under NT

	libgdbm.a		GNU style library for NT
	gdbm.ads		gdbm Ada spec (thin binding)
	agdbm.ad[sb]		gdbm Ada thick binding
	testgdbm.adb		a simple test program for the thin binding
	testagdbm.adb		a simple test program for the thick binding

	The following files are taken from the standard GDBM distribution:

	gdbm.3			gdbm man page
	gdbm.texinfo		texinfo gdbm manual
	gdbm.info		Emacs info file
	gdbm.ps			PostScript gdbm manual
	gdbm.h			gdbm C header file


Installation
------------

To install this package to use with GNAT just place libgdbm.a under
/gnat/lib 
(/gnat must be replaced by the root directory where GNAT has been
installed).

Then copy gdbm.ads and agdbm.ad[sb] to your Ada components directory if you

have one.

I have included gdbm.h just in case you want to use GDBM from C.

Enjoy !
