The release notes state:




      Changes to recGbl and database access link routines. 
            recGblInitFastInLink 
            recGblInitFastOutLink 

            All code calling these should be removed. They are no longer needed. 
            recGblGetFastLink 
            recGblPutFastLink 
            dbFastLinkGet 
            dbFastLinkPut 
            recGblGetLinkValue 
            recGblPutLinkValue 

            These are replaced by 
            dbGetLink dbPutLink 

            long dbGetLink(struct db_link *,short dbrType,
                    void *pbuffer,long *options,long *nRequest);

            The last two arguments can be 0. options=0 means no options.
nRequest=0 means scalar, i.e. retrieve one
            value. 

            long dbPutLink(struct db_link *,short dbrType,
                    void *pbuffer,long nRequest);

            dbCaAddInLink 
            dbCaAddOutlink 
            dbCaGetLink 
            dbCaPutLink 

            The Add routines are no longer needed. The Get/Put routines are
replaced by dbGetLink/dbPutLink.
