Ok. Maybe it is just me; however, I have been a member of the PostODBC list
for quite a while (recently moved to this list) and it sounds to me like
there are two development efforts going on here!
Those of us on this list in the PostODBC world (or at least me) would like
to know what in the world is going on! It seems rather disjunct!
I am a developer, and more than happy to help; however, now I am completely
confused. I know in the past there were some efforts by insight to add some
funtionality to PostODBC; however, now it sound like Insight has taken over the
development effort from Julie (Julia?).
In general! What is going on?
