Yup.

>b) Are there any other DBM tools for the mac?

gdbm is around, and I think I even built the dynamic library once. I don't see
much of a point in it, though. Berkeley DB, which is used in MacPerl, is
superior in most respects.

I'm using it all the time. The MacPerl help database is built using MacPerl and
is a dbm file.

Would be cool to have, but is not on my list.
