] Version:        2.00.beta
] 
] Description:    iODBC (intrinsic Open Database Connectivity) driver manager
]                 is compatible with ODBC 2.0 specification and performs exactly
]                 same jobs of ODBC 2.0 driver manager(i.e driver loading, 
]                 parameters and function sequence checking, driver's function 
]                 invoking, etc.). Any ODBC driver works with ODBC 2.0 driver 
]                 manager will also work with iODBC driver manager and vice versa.
]  
]                 Applications(which using ODBC function calls) linked with 
]                 iODBC driver manager will be able to concurrently access 
]                 different data sources through suitable ODBC drivers. See
]                 README file for detail.
