   By the way, ODBC is used for Windows platforms. Most people would simply open an ISQL session when in UNIX and type away. Another point is that there is a lot of coding involved in writing one of these drivers and a free one may be a longshot. I believe that sybase charges about $500 for theirs. And don't even think of running it without the client libraries, it won't work. Finally, an option is to purchase the NT version of Sybase SQL server. If you do it as an upgrade from MS-Access it is $200 and the ODBC drivers are included as well as some of the cool admin tools for Windows. Received on Fri Aug 01 1997 - 00:00:00 CEST
