+Wed Mar 17 19:14:27 1993 Phil Nelson (phil at cs.wwu.edu)
+
+ * Changed copyright on all files to include 1993. Also deleted
+ all references to my phone number.
+
+Thu Feb 28 17:05:09 1991 Phil Nelson (phil at strawberry.cs.wwu.edu)
+
+ * Added 1991 to copyright lines on all files.
+
+ * gdbmfetch.c: Fixed a bug introduced by previous changes.
+
+ * version.c: Updated version to 1.5.
+
+Fri Feb 8 12:27:13 1991 Phil Nelson (phil at strawberry.cs.wwu.edu)
+
+ * Change author's e-mail address in all comments.
+
+ * gdbmopen.c, systems.h: Changed opening sequence so that a
+ database will not be truncated in NEWDB mode until the
+ write has locked the file.
+
+ * testgdbm.c: Fixed a bug that caused a segmentation fault on
+ one computer. Also added the flags "-r" for opening the
+ database as a READER and "-n" for opening the database as
+ a NEWDB writer. The default mode remains the WRCREAT mode.
+
+ * Various source files, changed the data types of various
+ variables from int to long. This should not make any difference
+ to systems where sizeof(int) = sizeof(long). It should make
+ it easier to move to other systems.
+
+ * gdbmstore.c: Added a check for NULL key or content dptr. Due to
+ NULLs being used as error indications, data cannot be NULL also.
+
+ * gdbmfetch.c, gdbmseq.c, fetch.c: Added checks for zero sized
+ key and content so malloc will not try to allocate zero bytes.
+
+ * gdbmconst.h: Added this file so that all constants are in one
+ central place. A few constants can be changed without changing
+ the header sizes.
+

+ more completely.
+
+ * dbm.h: Added a null define to satisfy some versions that
+ require a dbmclose() call.
+
+ * findkey.c: (_gdbm_findkey) Added a check for the NULL
+ pointer in ...ca_data.dptr.
+
+ * gdbmdelete.c: Added code to more completely remove the

+
+ * Version 1.3 released.
+

+ of __GNUC__. Added a definition of BUILTIN_ALLOCA for
+ GNUC and for sun sparc.
+
+Fri May 11 12:15:56 1990 Phil Nelson (phil at unicorn.wwu.edu)
+
+ * systems.h: Removed the include for <sys/types> and now
+ systems.h requires <sys/types> included before it.

+ was missing before. Also, switched order of conv2gdbm
+ and alldbm in the all option.

+
+Fri Apr 27 09:49:59 1990 Phil Nelson (phil at unicorn.wwu.edu)
+
+ * Makefile: Added the dist option. Similar to the
+ addition from hack@ai.mit.edu, but correct.
+
+ * falloc.c (push_avail_block): Change the avail count
+ to reflect the correct number of entries.
+
+ * dbminit.c (dbminit): Changed the stat call to stat the
