The following snippet comes from www.netpromi.com/kirbybase.html:

Where did KirbyBase come from?

A lot of the ideas and concepts for KirbyBase came from a tcl dbms 
script written by Dave Maggiano. Dave included this script on the cdrom 
that accompanied his book "CGI Programming with Tcl". I bought the book, 
which is excellent, and while reading it, came across his dbms script. I 
have a soft-spot for small, simple, cleverly designed database 
management systems, and Dave's was one of the coolest I have seen. The 
icing on the cake was that I could actually understand and follow the 
source code!
