Re: Problems getting 0.4.99 to run under win32

[Jason Cater]

Hi.  

Those prereleases are old and we will be doing new ones really soon. A
lot of bugfixes have been applied since those were created. We are
preparing for a major release shortly. 

Note that we Win32 native support is being heavily developed by btami,
but given the complexity (crappiness) of the win32 api, I'm not 100%
sure it will be "production ready" for the 0.5.0 release. We are all
very excited about this driver, though!

Also, the SAP-DB suggestion is a good one, although it needs NT/2000/XP
to run. I don't think it runs on Win9x.  Just an FYI, YMMV.
