: The db ("new db") code originates from Berkeley. I'm not sure if the

: /usr/src/lib/libc/db/VERSION:
There is, indeed, a newer version of the db library, on the below site.
It contains ports for more than 20 different OS's.
: # @(#)VERSION 8.9 (Berkeley) 4/2/94
: This is version 1.74 of the Berkeley DB code.
: If your version of the DB code doesn't have a copy
: of this version file, it's really old, please update it!
: New versions of this software are periodically made
: available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu,
: in the file ucb/4bsd/db.tar.Z, or from ftp.uu.net.
: If you'd like to get announcements of future releases
: of this software, send email to the contact address
: below.
: Email questions may be addressed to Keith Bostic at
: bostic@cs.berkeley.edu.
