Same for me.  
OBDC.dll unimplemented. 
Wine segfaults.

Well, then... what about simply implementing it ? ;-)

A set of OBDC dlls for Windows 95 is included with MS Office Pro, look on the 
CD,you'll need Windows Installer to run it.  
run it by: 
 
msiexec /i $setupfile 
 
They don't seem to include however OBDC.dll itself.  
 
OBDC.dll from memory first appeared in Internet Explorer 4 and was probly last 
included in a IE installer in IE5.5

Well, if so many people depend on it, then why not fix this issue ? ;-) 
 
Use exedump.exe or nedump.exe or something similar to dump the function 
names of Windows's odbc.dll, create a file odbc.spec in dlls/odbc32/, check out 
how other 
directories in dlls/ are organized/implemented, search http://msdn.microsoft.com 
on how to implement not yet existing 16bit ODBC functions or so, and that's it. 
A matter of a couple hours, at most. 
(for a basic working example, at least)

But should it be implemented similarly to odbc32.dll, i.e. as a proxy to a unix  
ODBC library or should it try to function as it does on windows?

Sorry, could you explain this more ? 
I really don't know what this means. 
AFAICS of course it should interface to a unix ODBC library.

I've looked through and old set of Offical Platform SDK Headers (October 2000, 
find it somewhere on planetmirror.com ) and ODBC has puzzled me a bit.  
 
There is no Odbc.h, there are two files called OdbcInst.h and OdbcSS.h. 
OdbcInst.h contains a kinda SQL Abstraction Layer and the other one some simular 
methods. touch(ing) the file won't work. Office 2K needs a actual working example.
