(a)  Loading ODBCVIEWs should be fully automatic;  i.e.:
       do it at first ATTACH for every DBE if they are not already
       there.  Don't even both to ask the question;  but maybe
       display a message saying that ODBCVIEWs were loaded.
 
(b)  Loading ODBCVIEWs should be the default;  i.e.:  <CR>
       or "Y" in answer to the "ODBCVIEWs are missing.  Do you
       want to load now (Y/N) ?" question at the time of first ATTACH
       for each DBE.
 
(c)  Keep the current default of NOT loading ODBCVIEWs, but
      ask the  "ODBCVIEWs are missing.  Do you want to load now
       (N/Y) ?" question in Image/SQL.  I.e.:  You specifically have
       to enter "Y" - <CR> to the question to load ODBCVIEWs.
 
Ken:
 
I vote for (a).  If you're using a job to access the data base, it would work
better.  Perhaps the option could be configurable so sites no using ODBC would
not incur the overhead.  In other words, allow each site to pick which option
(a, b, or c) they want as the default.
 
Also, keep the SigImage stuff here.
