Jay, don't be...<impolite verbiage omitted>.  Please.

fP-Tech took FIVE YEARS (more or less) to deliver fPODBC.  Bulldog ODBC was
done in a -vastly- shorter time, and I'm pretty confident (knowing Ryan
pretty well) that if this goes over well, further development would be done
that would yield more features and flexibility.

Moreover, as I understand it (Ryan can correct me if I'm wrong), this
doesn't require running filePro to work.

We all have to start with -a- release.  I know my OneGate didn't release at
v2.4--or even v2.0, for instance.  You release something solid, even if it's
more limited than you'd like, and if it goes somewhere (or you prefer to
spend your spare time coding rather than with family, etc.), you add to it
and improve it.  He -just- released it today, and you trounce him.  Usually
I'll be one of the first (sometimes only) to defend you, but I really don't
get you this time.  A little common courtesy is in order, I should think.

I, for one, applaud Ryan's initiative, hard work, effort, and I wish him
great success in his endeavors.  Good luck, Ryan--and as some of us gamers
are wont to say, "...and skill too!"
