A free 90 day evaluation copy of the ADBC Developer's Kit can be downloaded
at:  http://www.advnetsys.com/ftp.html Just select the first hyperlink
(advnetsys.zip). The third hyperlink you will find the installation
instructions (readme.txt).

Adager DataBase Connectivity (ADBC) is a set of Java classes that allow
native access to IMAGE databases and your HP e3000 from any platform that
implements Java (MPEiX, Unix, Linux, Mac, NT...) without any overhead or
knowledge of SQL.  The ADBC Java APIs work well with Enhydra and many other
application servers such as WebiX, Weblogics, WebSphere and Orion.  ADBC
also comes with IMAGE, MPE, KSAM file and sub program pooled connections for
server side Java applications that can easily be modified using an XML
format.
