+just an example showing what's possible 
+with dbtool. These two shell scripts
+are doing the same job as GNU locate.
+
+  updatedb
+    creates a database which contains
+    every file (with path) of a system
+    along with all it's attributes.
+
+  locate
+    searches in this database using
+    user supplied regular expressions
+
+You need to edit both scripts to suit
+your system.
