About BDB
=========

BDB is a set of classes implementing an interface to
Berkeley DB for the GNUstep and Mac OS X environment written in
Objective-C language. It is based on the C API of
Berkeley DB and offers an object oriented interface which relies on 
classes and mechanisms offered by the Foundation library.

In its present state BDB just offers a reduced set of functionality of
Berkeley DB.

A preleminary introduction is given under
  doc/Introduction
More work has to be done related to the documentation.
