<p>DBFILE resource can be set to an absolute pathname. This
allows the database file to be located in a separate location than
in the archive directory. If not an absolute pathname, then the
value is treated relative to
<a href="outdir.html">OUTDIR</a>. If directory path components
are included in the value, then the directory path <b>must</b> already exist.
