I did not know that! I've always *assumed* that ASCII version was for
ASCII databases only. ASCII generally means 7-bit encoding, not 8-bit
like UTF-8.

Maybe a better name for the drivers would be,
   psqlodbc.msi
   psqlodbc-multibyte.msi

and most Windows users (I hope) would assume what you wrote.
