As I'm just finding out <sigh>.

We're moving off of a WnNT machine to COL Linux-ELF. NT is beyond (yuck)
for production use. We've been trying it, NFG, too many show-stoppers! At
this moment, I am investigating the SCO Livewire wrt installing it on Linux
via iBCS. If I can't get it to work with Caldera FastTrack then I'll try
SCO FastTrack. Maybe I'll learn enough to get it working with
Apache-Ben-SSL (mod_livewire ?<grin>?).

I got postODBC under WinNT. Where can I get iODBC? My alternative here is
to scrap 5 months of JavaScript code and do a re-write in g++.

Caldera Linux with v2.0.35 kernel upgrades (Linux Enterprise Server
prototype).
