The docs include updates from Gerald, Robert, and Cary. btw, the code tarball is identical to that currently in the main Postgres cvs tree afaik. I've also put new tarballs of beta versions of html docs for the Admin Guide, the User's Guide, and the "integrated docs" in the same area. Oh, for background: this tarball will allow one to use Applix Data (4.4.1) with the Postgres RDBMS. It is based on the current psqlODBC distribution at www.insightdist.com and at postgresql.org, but has minor code and major configure changes to allow building on Unix systems. Let me know how it goes! I'm out of town tomorrow, but will be back Thursday. Cary O'Brien has been providing info and user-support for the Applix Data ODBC interface for PostgreSQL, and will likely be posting more info to help get folks started. - Tom
