I found this on the Spring 1984 DECUS VAX SIG tape. I compiled it
on my Amiga with Lattice C version 3.03, encountering no problems
that I can remember (but it's been a few months since then...). Since
it was written to run on a 16-bit machine to start with, there shouldn't
be any real problems compiling it with Manx Aztec using 16-bit ints.
I have made one change to what I found on the tape: when printing out
a tuple using a form (.FRM) definition, you can use a dollar sign at
the beginning of an attribute to indicate that no padding should be
done. This helps when preparing things like form letters, where you
definitely *don't* want the records to be padded.
To build SDB, compile *.c into *.o, then ALink WITH sdb.lnk.
Enjoy!
