Gdbm for Windows

This is a windows-port of the famous GNU dbm (version 1.8.3) to Windows-OS. GNU dbm is a simple extendible hashing-mechanism to store key/value-pairs in files.

The official gdbm-website can be found at the GNU website.
You can download the original-distribution (http://www.artfiles.org/gnu.org/).

Because the original-distribution is only available for Unix-like systems, I decided to port it to Windows. The windows-port contains a prebuilt dll/lib (build with Visual C++ 6.0 on Windows 2000) and some sample executables. To be sure you can built the dll yourself, the sources and makefiles (for Visual C++ and Mingw) is included in the win32-subdirectory.

For instructions on how to build gdbm for windows have a look at the
README.txt.

The primary goal for me to port gdbm to windows was to get access to the gdbm-hash-functions via Tcl. Therefore I create Tgdbm (Tcl gdbm) which can also be downloaded from this website.
