I've updated my Lua binding for gdbm. It's cleaner now. I've also added a sample implementation of a repository of precompiled chunks using gdbm. The code is available at ftp://ftp.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/pub/lhf/gdbm.tar.gz . (When lua-users.org adds a code repository, I'll move it there...) Please send me your suggestions and comments. Thanks. --lhf
