dbinit() before calling any other DB-Library routine. Most
DB-Library routines will cause the application to exit if they
are called before dbinit().
o Currently, dbinit() is required only in the Macintosh environ-
ment. However, to ensure future compatibility and portability,
it is strongly recommended that all applications call dbinit(),
no matter what their operating environment.
