There is a way, but it's kind of a hack :-). You *could* have a script run
once every few seconds (maybe
a "sleep" loop), and look at the file modification time of your flat file.
If it's different than the last look, run
makemap. This would give you a new .db file. Yes, as I said, it IS a
hack, but it's better than nothing :-)
Also, how is the file flat created? Do you create it somehow, or is it
automatic. Nothing to prevent you
from scanning the file with a program, and using the database routines (are
you on Unix?) to directly create
and modify a .db file.
FWIW

Steve
