WHAT IS DB32/OCX
================

DB32/OCX is a free 32-bit OLE Custom Control to provide the DB-Library 
translation layer as VBSQL.VBX does.

IT'S REALLY FREE?
=================
Yes. Absolutely.

If you have read the license agreement you must remember that you can:

- Redistribute it with your application.
- Copy it to your friends and across your company.
- Populate it around the world. 

and you cannot:
- Modify it in ANY way. If you want, you can join us sending feedback and reporting
  bugs and wishes.
- Sell it. Obviously.

If you appreciate this component, is it useful or gaves you a smile and you have time, 
give us feedback and/or dedicate us a little copyright line with your software.

COMPATIBILITY
=============================================
DB32/OCX is fully compatible with the same SQL Servers than VBSQL is compatible.
You can virtually port your application without any problem, because the return
codes and data types of the functions declarations are the same. We've been 
very careful about that.


SET OF WORKING FUNCTIONS AT DISTRIBUTION TIME
=============================================
With this version, DB32/OCX hasn't all the DB-Library functions. So, check the 
site regularly for updates. In the near future we'll be able to notify you via
e-mail.
