Whoa.  There's a new one for me.  What is DBDRIVER???  I see it is located in
PUB.SYS and also a version located on my CSL tape.

DBDRIVER is an obscure little database utility supplied by HP.  It is quite
user-indifferent but allows one to access a database and perform most all
intrinsics on the database. Whilst it is NOT to be used for reports and
regular access (I was being facetious but I also used DISKED5 and now DEBUG
to look at my files, but that is another story), it is VERY useful in
debugging problems in the database, or trying out calls on the database.  It
can also be used to dump database sectors to the screen or the printer, this
includes the labels as well.
 
The commands are one letter are sometimes not intuitively obvious.  I am not
sure if we want to list them here, suffice it to say that a list of the
commands (at that time) is found in the IMAGE Handbook published circa 1984.
 
Kind regards,
 
Denys. . .
