He was going to hack together an htdbm (or some such) utility who's args mirror the current options in dbmmanage. So as of the moment, I believe he's started to hack it. That htdbm must include the group (groups list) and the trailing 'comment', just as dbmmanage offers. I would still -love- to see apr use multiple dblibs - better yet - autodetect which db should be used use when it attempts to open one. That might be going a bit far, though ;) Bill
