OpenLink Software, Inc. is very pleased to announce it's new suite of
ODBC
compliant client software running under Solaris, AIX, and (last but
certainly
not least) Linux/ELF for Intel machines. Currently in wide beta, we
expect
a fully productive release early June.

Based on Ke Lin's GPL'ed iODBC driver manager, this client suite
delivers
high-performance ODBC level 2.0 compliance for the supported platforms
within
OpenLink's highly acclaimed multi-tier ODBC architecture. The kit
comes
with both source and binary versions of the iODBC driver manager,
shared
libraries, header files (from iODBC) and a sample program.

Like our complete range of client software this package comes at no 
additional license fees and can be downloaded from our Web pages at
http://www.openlinksw.com. This Webserver can also provide you with a 
30 days free trial of the server side of the OpenLink ODBC multi-tier
architecture.

Client requirements:
- - - Linux 1.2.x or better;
- - - ELF installation (libc 5.0.8 or better);
- - - TCP/IP connectivity to server host.

Server requirements: please see our Webpages for the current suite of
supported operating systems (Unices, VMS, Windows/NT) and database
versions (Oracle, Sybase, Progress, Ingres, Informix). 

Press release and contact information:
http://www.openlinksw.com/press21e.html 
and http://www.openlinksw.com/company.html.

Linux-specific technical questions may be put directly to C. de Groot
(cg@openlink.co.uk), for general inquiries please use the contact
information
on our Web pages.
