I've got a clue for ApplixWare, if you happen to have that package (US$90). Please post it, Thomas. I got nowhere following their instructions. Have you looked at *our* instructions in the chapter on ODBC? I haven't done much with it in quite a while, but afaik it all should still work. I would have expected Cary O'Brien (sp? name?? Done from memory: sorry "aka Cary" :/ to have spoken up if things have broken, so the instructions should still be good. - Thomas ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])

Re: [ODBC] Re: [HACKERS] Release in 2 weeks ...
I have a copy of OpenOffice for LinuxPPC but have not figured out how to tell it to connect to Postgres. If someone can slip me a clue on how to configure it and do simple database stuff with it, I'll try to clean up the most pressing ODBC problems before we release. I've got a clue for ApplixWare, if you happen to have that package (US$90). - Thomas
