I'm writing an application that needs to keep a lot of data on disk
between runs.  Ideally, I'd like to be able to access this data like a
dictionary, analogous to the way perl maps a dbm file to an
associative array.  Does anyone know if something like this exists for
Smalltalk and is freely available?  Alternately, any sort of database
code should work, provided it's relatively fast and _free_.

I'm using Smalltalk/V 2.0 for (16-bit) Windows.


			Thanks in advance,
