    Brief Description of Problem:
    -----------------------------
Dear ASAP,

Need your quick help.

Our developer MapInfo needs the client side of Oracle (SQLnet),
Sybase (Open Client), and Informix (ESQL/C) to test their system
in conjunction with Intersolv's ODBC 3.0 for Alpha NT.

If you have any pointers that would enable them to ftp the needed
software,
please let [email protected] know asap.

Thank you!

I am unable to find them online anywhere.  I spoke to John T.  He has a beta
version that he will arrange to get to Nancy.
