31 Noted so far: Implement DATE and OVER. OVER is a synonym for XOVER, | |
32 which should continue to work for compatability reasons. | |

121 | 37 * Improve performance of group database. Using GDBM is a bad choice, |
38 better use a btree from the Berkeley db library in libc. | |
39 This will be a good time for a redesign of the group.h interface | |
40 with respect to process concurrency if the simple global locking strategy | |
41 will be changed in the future. | |
