DBM and SDBM

[Hal Fulton]

I thought (correct me if I'm wrong) that SDBM had the same
interface/behavior as DBM.

I use DBM on Linux... and I *have* used SDBM in its place
on Windows.

But now I have a piece of code that reproducibly fails.

If you want to look into it, try Tycho 0.0.7 on Windows.
You'll need Fox and fxruby, possibly requiring the "old"
versions (1.0.x).


Thanks for any insight...

Hal

thewre was a bug in sdbm up to some stage.. related to objects converted
via to_s and to_str when store/retrieved. If you're using an object as a
key that may be the problem, already fixed in cvs.

I think I'm only using strings as keys.
