Hi Braun,

You might take a look at the ODBC and JDBC that we have in our UDALink
multiplatform data access products ... see www.MBFoster.com ... What will the
database be on the Linux box?? So far we do Oracle and are just finishing up
HP-Eloquence ... there is a charge for this solution ... we are a fun place to
work but everyone needs to make a living;-)
