The Berkeley DB hash method has what it calls an 'hsearch compatibility interface' which is supposed to be for compatibility with System V, though it doesn't specify any particular version of System V. If you look in the source tree for the DB package and check the hash directory, you'll see there's a search.h header there, which for some reason doesn't seem to get installed. I don't know if this is what you're after though since you didn't really say what functions this library provides. There's only a small handfull of them in this particular search.h header so it may not be what you're after. Might not hurt to check it out though. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "If you're ever in trouble, go to the CTR.
