Re: Berkeley DB version ; Visual C build environment ; HTML display

Hello,
This is a little off-topic.
Where do I get the latest version of the Berkeley DB to download?
Also, I have heard about open source DB called Diamond being
used by wxStudio initially for a similar work. How does this compare
with the Berkeley DB in terms of speed? Anyone?

Best regards,
Paul.
