YES!! Certainly!
 
I will assume that you have the Win95 TCP/IP and winsock installed and working.
 
If you are using 32bit clients, then neither HP's ODBC driver nor ours will
work currently. While the mechanism looks the same, a call from a 32bit
application invokes the 32bit Microsoft driver manager which, in turn calls
one of the 32bit drivers that was configured using the 32bit ODBC
Administrator while a call from a 16bit client will invoke a similar string
of 16bit components.
 
We are currently compiling our driver with the 32bit compiler and ironing
out some installation details.  As I understand it, HP is evaluating the
requirement and should have a commitment by year end.

Our DataExpress ODBCLink option provides connections between Win95 and
ImageSQL.  In fact, you don't need ImageSQL at all (although you can
certainly use it) since we will access TurboImage using the native Image
intrinsics directly.  We also support serial/modem connections, KSAM, MPE
files and Cognos PDL dictionaries to name just a few of our additional features.
