<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I recently purchased LispWorks for Windows.
Downloaded Elephant and was able to make it work with BDB. Thanks (and
congrats!) for such a nice package. I have heard that QDBM is much better than
BDB in terms of performance and does not have the same licensing issues (there
are royalty payments for embeding BDB in an application). Do you have any idea
of supporting QDBM or another similar backend? I saw that you plan to develop a
native implementation. That is great news, but when will that
happen?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am unable to use Allegro Common Lisp (and ACache)
because of HUGE royalties, so I am looking at Elephant.</FONT></DIV>
