I have this excerpt from an old email.
'Tis a work in progress and not a finished component, but
the InterBase ODBC driver source is available for inspection,
recreation, modification, and/or abuse.
The CVS command to get the source is:
cvs -d :pserver:odbc@...:/usr/local/interbase
login
{password is 'arch-list'}
cvs -d :pserver:odbc@...:/usr/local/interbase
checkout OdbcJdbc
And I of course went and got it back then and still have it...seems to me
that it was released already...looks like to me that is was jerked off the
shelf as soon as word was that Borland was keeping the code and shafting
newcorp. So is it that he is waiting to be paid or is it that its be
retracted until he can be paid...is that not the pot calling the kettle
black as we were allowed to see it and now we are not due to policy
changes?
