I'm not sure what UnixODBC is, but does it try to be
compatible/consistant with IODBC? Is it a successor, or replacement?
Can I use it on my ApplixWare installation, which already knows about
IODBC? Just curious... Your url isn't available to me at the moment.

You can get read access to cvs using anonymous or using cvsup (much
preferred if you are going to be working over an extended time). Check
the web site or the CVS_FAQ for details, and ask questions on the
list.

I'm sure Byron and I would be happy to test any patches you might
have, or just send tarballs while you're sorting it out. Cary O'Brien
would probably be willing to participate also. Cary?

Regards.
