OK, that seems to help (though there is still major ugliness with the
macro which disables mylog()).

Anyway, I now have a sharable library, and ApplixWare is running. But I
don't see any candidate servers when I try to select a database to open.
I made a ~/.odbc.ini file, and included entries like:

[Postgres]
Debug = 0
CommLog = 1
Driver = /opt/postgres/current/lib/libpsqlodbc.so

but see nothing in the ApplixWare dialog box. Does anyone have a working
.odbc.ini file, perhaps for MySQL? I guess I expected to see "Postgres"
as a candidate database in the ApplixWare dialog box, even if the rest
of the configuration was screwed up. What else needs to be set up??

TIA
