LAS VEGAS, NV: August Software today announced the delivery of Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) support for Apple Computer's Darwin V1.4.1 PowerMac kernel. Darwin 1.4.1 is the high-performance UNIX core of Mac OS/X 10.1, Mac OS/X Server 10.1 and the new GNU-Darwin operating system.

Today's delivery of a complete ODBC Software Development Kit for Darwin enables existing UNIX and LINUX database applications to be quickly ported to the Mac without requiring extensive Mac-specific Carbon programming.

Available now at www.sqlmac.com, August Software's ODBC SDK eliminates the need for per-desktop ODBC control panels and drivers on Macintosh, Windows and LINUX platforms. In concert with ODBC Router, ODBC SDK developers are provided with the tools needed to build cross-platform applications and web services that can access virtually any SQL database system (MS-Access, ORACLE, SYBASE, Pick, DB/2, Rdb/VMS and many others).

Founded in 1990, August Software is a global provider of Internet and enterprise database software located on the web at www.augsoft.com. August Software maintains a dedication to providing the highest performing solutions with the service and support fast companies demand.
