David did you ever upgrade the install? I did get the newer
InstallShield to work. I also bundled it with ODBC 3.1...

Marc,
I think I just figured out why you were so concerned about the Makefile
and the README. I looked through the latest snapshot (Apr 15) and
noticed that the ODBC self-extracting EXE binary was not present. (It
was nice to see the source!) :) Is it your intentions to not include
this as part of the distribution? Are there tactical problems with
including the binary?
This is a critical part of the package. It installs the driver, the
Windows ODBC driver manager, and makes numerous entries in the Windows
registry. Without it each site would have to have MS Visual C++ 4.0+
to compile. $$$ They may also need the driver manager which comes with
the ODBC driver kit and some windows applications. Then they would
have to make hacks in the Windows registry on each desktop by hand.
Yikes! (check that spelling)
It is worth noting that the binary is about 2.5 meg. (This light weight
for Windows.) Should this be available as a separate download from the
PostgreSQL site? Or should PostgreSQL page just point to our site.

Julie, I have attached the latest RUL file for creating the InstallShield
executable. I'm not sure if it is different from what you have.
Marc, I overlooked this file it should be included in the source. Oops
Also the binary file is only 1.2 meg not 2.5 meg. Oops again.

I'd still like to have the home pages for the PostODBC driver at
MageNet if no one objects... at least that is where most people look for
it.

David...is there a directory I can mirror from to add as part of

almost 4Meg distribution, but having it local would be great, since then
it would be auto-included on the CDs also...

Other then making it a 5meg distribution? :) I'd prefer to keep
the binary itself seperate, but easily accessible...see other email
concerning mirror...

I hope you noticed that I sent the old version. Byron attached the latest one

Noticed...meant to include it last night, but ran out of time :(

Perfect, thank you...
David, Julie expressed a desire to keep the PostODBC web page
pointing to MageNet...I personally have no problems with that...is this a
problem?

MageNet.com this weekend.

How will it work? The current state of the MagNet pages are pretty out of date. Our
few pages are up to date, but largely incomplete.
To me, the most important area would be the FAQ (or FAQs). Could these, and any other
user doc, be part of the source so that patches can be submitted to keep the up to date?
Comments.

Could the FAQ and any other user docs be SGML'd and included as
part of the overall PostgreSQL docs? Thomas? I'm trying, as much as
possible, for the "central, one stop shopping" sort of thing...spreading
things all over the 'Net sort of defeats that purpose, eh? :)

Well, I volunteered in an earlier mail to do this transformation of the
FAQ to SGML, during the next weeks, as well as updating the FAQ with new
questions from the lists. If there are other faqs to include, may I have
the urls, so that I can download and include them ?
