I don't know the answer to that. The 'C' modules that I have compiled under
the standard RedHat release include 'read' and 'write' statements, instead
of 'put' and 'get', but they compile just fine. I just do not know how it
knows about 'read' and 'write'

I looked at the dbopen manpage but it does not seem to concide with what I
have. For example, the source statements in my program that read a record,
look like this:
fd is the filename
record is the record number
nbytes is the number of bytes to read
if (lseek(fd,record,0) ==ERROR)
return(ERROR);
if (read(fd,buffer,nbytes) != nbytes)
return(ERROR);
return(OK);
Does this look familiar???????
