I tried using the Minisoft driver to allow our PC programmers direct access
to our Image data.

But, we found its limitation of only allowing 1 Omnidex multiple key per
retrieval ( and it has to be the first field referenced in the where clause
) to be a show stopper. Which annoyed me because we purchased Omnidex for
use by the odbc driver only after calling Minisoft and asking them if there
were any issues or limitations using the indexes.

Otherwise, the driver seemed to perform well and is very inexpensive.
