Virtual memory ndbm

[Peter Gross]

I have been out of touch with Unix for a couple of years, so this may
have already been discussed or accomplished.....

The BSD ndbm database routines normally operate on disk files.  I would
like to use the same functionality, but have the database[s] be in the
process virtual address space.  It could be accomplished by a re-write
of the routines, or by mapping the files into memory.  Do any wizards
out there have a suggestion on how to do this under a BSD-flavor Unix
(SunOS, Ultrix, 4.[23], etc.)?
