 GS tools that provide similar functionality to the GDBM Edit tools but based on the TDB project (from SAMBA Project). TDB has the same API as GDBM and is designed to support parallel processor.
+
+=== To Install ===
+
+There is, unfortunately, a chicken and the egg dependency in this extension in that it requires the GSDL common library (gsdllib.a) while Greenstone can't properly compile in TDB mode unless tdb-edit is compiled first. So you end up having to configure, compile, re-configure and re-compile to get things to work. Instructions follow:
+
+1. SVN checkout Greenstone
+2. Run configure and make as usual
+3. SVN checkout tdb-edit into extensions: svn co http://svn.greenstone.org/gs2-extensions/tdb-edit/trunk/src tdb-edit
+4. Run 'enable_tdb.sh'
+5. Change to top-level Greenstone directory and re-run configure
+6. Change back to tdb-edit directory and run 'CASCADE_MAKE.sh'
+7. Finally return to top-level Greenstone directory and run make and make install
