MORE INFORMATION
================

The following ODBC files, all with Visigenic Software, Inc. copyrights, are
installed in:

1. The System:Extensions folder:

             Name                    Version        Size
  -------------------------------   ---------   ------------
  ODBC Configuration Manager PPC    2.1.1       159,298 bytes
  ODBC Cursor Library PPC           2.1.1        95,362 bytes
  ODBC Driver Manager PPC           2.1.1        95,706 bytes
  ODBC SQL Server ADSP Netlib PPC   2.50.1122     6,695 bytes
  ODBC SQL Server Driver PPC        2.50.1122   320,036 bytes
  ODBC SQL Server Setup PPC         2.50.1122    30,171 bytes
  ODBC SQL Server TCP Netlib PPC    2.50.1122     8,653 bytes

2. The System:Control Panels folder:

             Name                    Version        Size
  -------------------------------   ---------   ------------
  ODBC Setup PPC                    2.1.1        94,563 bytes

3. System:Preferences folder, once a data source is set up using the ODBC Setup
  PPC control panel:

             Name                    Version        Size
  -------------------------------   ---------   ------------
  ODBC Preferences PPC              none        varies

With the Visual FoxPro for Macintosh Setup Wizard, developers can include support
for ODBC on the distribution disks that are created. When these distribution
disks are being created for the PowerPC platform, the Setup Wizard pulls in
copies of the ODBC files installed in the System folders (except the ODBC
Preferences PPC file) and compresses them before including them on the disks. If
any of the above-listed files are missing or are the wrong version, the Setup
Wizard can fail.

The Setup Wizard can also include support for ODBC when creating distribution
disks for the 68K platform. In this case, the ODBC support files are drawn from
subfolders under the Microsoft Visual FoxPro:Distribution Sources folder. When
these distribution disks are installed on a Macintosh (either 68K or PPC), 68K
versions of the above- listed files are installed in the System:Extensions and
System:Control Panels folders. The names and sizes are listed below:

             Name                    Version        Size
  -------------------------------   ---------   ------------
  ODBC Configuration Manager        2.1.1       146,675 bytes
  ODBC Cursor Library               2.1.1        67,402 bytes
  ODBC Driver Manager               2.1.1        66,631 bytes
  ODBC SQL Server ADSP Netlib       6.0b3         5,385 bytes
  ODBC SQL Server Driver            6.0b3       202,513 bytes
  ODBC SQL Server Setup             6.0b3        18,960 bytes
  ODBC SQL Server TCP Netlib        6.0b3         3,865 bytes

  ODBC Setup                        2.1.1        94,891 bytes

Microsoft Office and FoxPro for Macintosh 2.6 also install earlier versions of
the 68K ODBC files. Those versions of the ODBC files have Apple Computer, Inc.
copyrights. The Apple and Visigenic files should both work with Visual FoxPro
68K applications and Office.
