The CHANGES file.

If TCL/TK is not installed on your system, the main site for TCL/TK is now here. Sqlscreens is supposed to work with all versions after 8.0. Contact me if it doesn't.

UNIX ODBC

You will need iODBC, and the tclodbc extension.[tcl odbc v2.1 needed this patch. I think it's not useful anymore].

Things should also work with unixODBC , but I did not test yet.

And of course, you'll need an ODBC driver for you database. For exemple, for MySQL, you can retrieve MyODBC from the MySQL site. Not very useful, as sqlscreens has native support for MySQL, but this is the one I tested the package with. I also know of people using sqlscreens with an ODBC driver for PostgreSQL.

WINDOWS ODBC

You don't need the C code in Sqlscreens for this. Just grab tclodbc and the appropriate ODBC driver. Copy sqlscreens.tcl, tcsq.tcl, and odbctcsq.tcl from the sqlscreens package to to c:/tcl/lib/sqlsc/, run pkg_mkIndex there, and you are all set.

Other useful bits

The isqltcl package for Informix access has become somewhat difficult to find. Here are three versions, I'm not too sure if all work with SQLScreens, and I no longer have an Informix database to test with: 3.0 3.2 4.0

Improved font handling and documentation.
