DBDRIVER is basically an undocumented utility in PUB.SYS which allows you to
construct and perform IMAGE intrinsic calls and view the results.  Its focus
is more towards diagnostic work as opposed to daily application use.
Although HP never 'officially' documented it, there is some good
documentation in the IMAGE/3000 Handbook (which you'll need to borrow a copy
as it is out of print).  If I recall, ADAGER recently sent out a note that
they had a few copies that were available for $60.
