I need to port a VB6 interface to an access database to RH6.2. Are
there any ways to interface with an acess database on linux? I need to
do this in C, so if anyone has any good references, would you please
pass them along?
Regards,
Scot

It isn't supposed to work because it would be a huge security risk.
If you still want to do it you can write a c-wrapper:
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void) {
system("/usr/local/bin/yourshellscript");
return 0;
}
Put the path to your program in system("here"). Do the chmod thing to
the compiled program and run it.

It's a running gag from when I was at Keele University.
There're a lot of grey squirrels there, and the local newsgroup there had a
few conspiracy theories about them...
(world domination stuff, nothing serious)
:)
Besides, grey squirrels are a pest in the UK, and are the main reason Red
Squirrels are endangered...

Sorry bud. I thought someone may appreciate this in linux.misc. There
is usually a lot of leeway in misc groups. I couldn't find a linux
binary or linux humour group. Please forgive my rudeness.
