Sorry...I should have made myself clearer. I was only hinting at an alternative
to using the C-based ODBC under libc5 Linux. Java2 is a natural alternative,
given that a lot of embedded devices in the future will have Java2 embedded on
them, and possibly OCF and JNI. No need for Linux on such a system. So, I was
suggesting that getting ODBC to work on libc5 was not a high priority for me.
