*********************

   It is important that every file opened is also closed. This is
needed to update the reader/writer count on the file. This is done by:

     gdbm_close(dbf);

   The parameter is:

GDBM_FILE dbf
     The pointer returned by `gdbm_open'.

   Closes the `gdbm' file and frees all memory associated with the file
`dbf'.
