Reading Bluebird/Superdos Index files

[jmp]

Thanks.  I checked there first.  It is a great site!  But unless I know what
format these files are I can't search it very well.  I'm fairly sure I'm
looking at a standard hash/index file with a OS specific header of 512
Kbytes.  I'm thinking about cutting the head off and then asking whichdbm to
help me out.
