This is a port of GNU dbm (1.8.0c) to windows.

The changed files are all kept in this subdirectory "win32c".
Still there are some minor changes in some files in the
"main"-directory. These changes are simply some inserted
defines (IMEXPORT = __declspec(dllexport) or
 __declspec(dllimport)).
The files changed are:
global.c, version.c and testgdbm.c
systems.h: has a new Flag "HAVE_NOTHING" which is quite
           similar to the "Windows"-Environment, saying
		   there is no FLOCK and the whole file-locking
		   is simply defined to be empty
		   (file-locking is done in gdbmopen, reorganize,
		    ...)
The relevant changes in the files located in "win32c" can be
found by looking for the WIN32 -ifdefs.

CHANGES:
Version 1.8.0c:
  * 24.09.2002 - Bugfix (thanks to Nakaue Takumi) in gdbm.h.
                 endif for extern "C" in wrong line
Version 1.8.0b:
  * 04.04.2001 - Bugfix (thanks to Oleg Oleinick) in gdbm_reorganize.
                 Corrected window-filename-parsing

Version 1.8.0:
  * Initial Version

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUILD GNU dbm:

o Visual-C++
  If you have the Visual-C++-Environment installed you should simply
  adapt the installation-paths in the first lines of "Makefile.vc",
  so they fit your configuration.  Than type 
  > nmake -f Makefile.vc
  in the "win32c"-directory.
  (Or rename Makefile.vc to Makefile and simply
  > nmake
  )

  This should build gdbm.dll, testgdbm.exe, testdbm.exe, testndbm.exe,
  conv2gdbm.exe and samp1.exe in the "vc_release"-directory.

o Mingw32
  For the most people, who do not have a Visual-C++-Compiler or don't
  like it (e.g. me), I have provided a Makefile for the Mingw32-compiler
  and make utilities. I assume you have the regular utilities installed too
  (e.g. rm, mkdir, mv).
  Simply type:
  > make -f Makefile.mingw
  or copy Makefile.mingw to Makefile and
  > make
  Several warnings occur, but they are harmless (at least I hope so)

o Cygnus
  I didn't spent the time to build a Cygnus-Makefile, but if someone
  has build one I will happily include it in this distribution.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALL of GNU dbm

  To install gdbm, simply copy "gdbm.dll" to your systems-directory
  (e.g. c:\winnt\system32) or whereever you want. There is no 
  install-target in the makefile.

  Gdbm has been tested under Windows 2000 (Mingw32 and VC++) and
  slightly under Win NT (VC++).
  I don't know if it works on other windows-derivates (Win95,98,...).
  Please tell me if it worked for you on your platform.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following files are included in this distribution (only concerning the
windows-subdirectory "win32c"):

README.txt              - This file
Makefile.mingw          - Makefile for Windows to be used with Mingw32.
Makefile.vc             - A Visual-C++ Makefile

autoconf.h,dbminit.c,dbmopen.c,gdbm.h,gdbmopen.c,gdbmreorg.c,getopt.c,
samp1.cpp,testdbm.c     - Files of gdbm which were adapted to Windows.
gdbm.dll                - A prebuild DLL for those of you who don't want
                          to build it yourself.
testgdbm.exe            - The testprogramm
                          The EXE and DLL are release-build with VC++ 6.0
						  on Windows 2000
