storing associative arrays externaly

[Viktoras Didziulis]

 Hi!
 
Asking again :-)... I have a program that creates indexes of values stored
in raster maps. It needs to tie array to a file on a hard drive and get the
file updated  when the array is modified during runtime. Also when the the
program exits it saves array contents to file so that when it is opened
again, it would initiate an array from the file stored. Perl has sdbm and
several other modules that can tie hash to dbm files stored externaly. How
can this be done in Transcript?
 
Many thanks and best wishes
