Jonas Maebe 8b0301409a + i386/iphonesim target for the new iPhoneSimulator in Xcode 3.2.4 and
later: the same as i386/darwin, except
      a) uses the non-fragile Objective-C ABI/runtime
      b) does not require stubs for direct calls/jumps (not required for
         i386/darwin under 10.6 and later either, but still generated
         there for backwards compatibility)
      c) only the same packages are enabled as for ARM/Darwin
      d) MacOSAll is compiled specifically for the iPhoneSimulator SDK
    This target also defines the symbol "darwin" apart from the target
    name "iphonesim" for source code compatibility reasons.

Testing raw ODBC access:

For windows:
============

1. Compile testodbc. No options should be needed.

2. In the ODBC manager in the Windows Control Panel, create a new system or
   file DSN called 'FPC' with the 'Microsoft Access (*.mdb)' driver
   (At least MS-Access 97 or higher)

   Do not enter any username or password.
   
   The DSN should point to the testodbc.mdb database file provided with the
   testodbc.pp program.
   
3. Run the program.

For Linux:
==========

1. Change testodbc.pp and set the UserName and Password constants if needed.

2. Compile testodbc. No options should be needed.

3. Create a MySQL database and table with the mkdb script in the mysql
   directory. make sure the password and username as set in step 1 have
   access to this databse.

4. Install a DSN called FPC for the newly created database.
   (I used the unixODBC ODBCConfig program for this)

5. Run the program.

Enjoy !
