If you had a live database in here, an ls -l might look like this.

total 282
drwxr-xr-x   2 de       lickstaf      512 Jul  9  1999 ./
drwxr-xr-x   7 de       lickstaf     1024 Oct 12 17:34 ../
-rw-r--r--   1 de       lickstaf   271045 Oct 10 11:30 tclPapers.dat

You of course might not call this data file tclPapers.dat :-)

As I recall, I had to create this file initially using a tclgdbm
command for setting up a brand new database.  This was required
as an initialization step or bootstrap, before data could be stored.
