Thank you Chris,
I was just taking a look at the Sleepycat's web site. They don't explain on
the web site how their no-open source license works. I sent them an email
asking for furhter info. In the meantime I downloaded the file db-4.1.25 and
at the first look it seems to be very hard to understand. There are hundreds
of C files... I didn't find yet the starting point, nor some sample or
tutorial for MacOS X. Anyway, I spent only 5 minutes on it... I hope to do
better in the next hours.
As far as the Apple's DB I know even less. I presume I have to learn a lot
of stuffs. Where should I look for some sample, tutorial, more that the 'man
dbopen' reports?
Best Regards

How is Apple's DB related to Sleepycat's? Is it just an old version and if

so are there any licensing issues around using it?
