Coral's product is a fine one. I have discovered, however, two subtle
problems with Version 1.2.
The file write date is not set properly. As I recall, you can save a
file and then read the write date to discover that it appears to have
been saved at a much earlier date (even a brand-new file). I can give
details and fix to those interested -- requests by E-Mail.
I have also discovered that remhash may remove more objects from the
hash table than the one being remhash'ed! This is a bit tricky to
reproduce, but I did manage a definitive example. Be careful.
Other that that, I love this implementation, and I use it full-time.
