As far as I see, few people need the backpatch.
Under Windows most people use the binary distribu-
tion.
Under unix I wonder how many people use our driver.
Recently I've searched the use of our ODBC driver
with iODBC a little but I was able to find the word
neither *successful* nor *solved*. Is the driver
really supposed to be available with iODBC ? How
about giving up iODBC support ?
