Sorry... the Windows binary and core-source release is available at
http://www.insightdist.com/psqlodbc.  The full archived source and all
Unix support files are available through the Postgres site somehow
(http://www.postgresql.org).  To tell you the truth, once you get to the
Postgres site, I'm not sure where you go to download the odbc source?

Perhaps someone who knows more about that could chime in here???

The Unix-buildable sources for the previous version are available as a
part of the current Postgres release (v6.4).

The new version of psqlODBC is available in the current Postgres
development tree, and will be posted as a "standalone" package on the
ftp site after a short testing period. It can be built standalone or can
be unpacked over an existing Postgres v6.4 source tree for updating.

I will post a message to y'all when that happens; perhaps Byron can put
a link to it on his web site and Hal can put a pointer to it on the
Postgres web site?
