Mmh. In the unixodbc documentation odbc/ is used. Perhaps this is what UnixODBC's documentation now *recommends*, but as I said, historically this is not how it was done. :) And the existing ODBC drivers in the archive would also need to be updated to match. It may be worth making this change anyway, but it would require some planning. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
