Actually, the solution would depend on your skills. An alternative to
coding db.c would be to write a sed or awk script. Both of these are
actually quite easy to use and extremely powerful. I would suggest the
book unix in a nutshell for anyone who does any work in the unix
environment. I was forced to do shell scripting in my c++ class and found
that extremely powerful scripts can be writen in less than 15 minutes.
Hope this helps give you some alternatives.
