We can even preselect the dbm in use even through anydbm. Doing it 
based on the plateform would be a nice idea until the ZODB one is 
packaged with Python distro. And this is a 5 line of codes 
maximum.....

It is even easier to customize the behavior of these 'standard' dbms. 
See the /Demo/classes/Dbm.py script.....

PS: I am sorry, I made several 'reply to sender' instead of 'Reply 
all' tonight. my apologies.....
