Database recovery

Hi

In the doc I have "this section needs to be written"

I have a database system to recover any pointers greatly appreciated. My tape backup is two weeks old... I know that is bad but I have to live with it.

Cheers

Tony Grant

The system() library function is broken in OSX 10.1. There's a
workaround in the backend/ports/darwin directory in 7.2beta4,
which you should be able to transpose into 7.1.

BTW, *please* use 7.1.3 not 7.1rc4 as your starting point.
There are some nontrivial bug fixes between.
