Not really, this could be useful. I'll give you an example. I have a Win16
app that uses ODBC to connect to a MS SQL 6.5 server. I also have the same
database running in Linux using Sybase ASE. I want to get rid of MS SQL and
use ASE but I can't because Win16 ODBC drivers for Sybase can't be found.
Recompiling the software for Win32 is not an option. If this emulator
existed I could probably use it to connect to Sybase without problem.
