Hi all;

overally, after a longer session of issue-tracking and
communication, there's a solution to the ODBC driver loading problem
using maxdb - ODBC 7.05.00.00 on MS Windows NT 4 platforms.

A closer look shows that the ODBC driver refuses to load because the
function GlobalMemoryStatusEx in kernel32.dll is missing. This
function apparently is not present in pre-Windows 2000 kernel32.dll
and therefore the ODBC client (same as, obviously, the server, see
http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb/20413 ) is not working on MS Windows NT
4.0.

Workaround:

* SAPDB ODBC 7.4.x obviously also requires GlobalMemoryStatusEx to
  be happy; ODBC 7.3 drivers seem to work well.

* If you get SQLStudio installed and running with an sqlod32w.dll,
  Version 7.05.00.00, date 09/02/03, you might want to try the
  SQLSTUDIOODBC driver to connect to the database which works well
  here and obviously doesn't "suffer" from the GlobalMemoryStatusEx
  "issue".

Many thanks to Thomas Koetter @ SAP for helping me getting through
this. 

Cheers,
Kris
