Do you want simple key=value pair (perl hash, associative array, etc)
where one key gives one value?  Your value may of course be tab
separted sub values or anythig really.

They are hard to search, but if you know the keys, always or often
enough, they are simple.  I don't know any package names, but Berkeley
DB is one free source product.

If you need to search on anything very often, key or value, they
probably aren't it.
