The intention from day 1 (September 4, 1984) was that there would
be a standalone utility to rebuild trashed database (or, as Ann
puts it, rebuild the cow from a pile of hamburger). The gfix
functionality, actually implemented in the engine, does some but
not all of what is possible. A standalone utility would be a
very good first project. Any takers?
