Don't get too excited!
What we want is a 32bit ODBC driver, not a 32bit winsock.
 
On Tuesday, the Client-Server audio conference heard HP say that the 32bit
driver would be available sometime in the summer of 1996.  They are
apparently re-designing and re-writing it to get a solid foundation for the
future.
 
You could, of course, call 1-800-ANSWERS     ;)
