  <TD colspan="3">Welcome to a short tutorial on ODBC programming. The goal of this tutorial is 
    to introduce a C-Programmer to ODBC programming. During this tutorial we will
    code a simple program which connects to a database via ODBC and reads some data. 
	There won't be any information on how to program ODBC Drivers or about <EM>unixODBC</EM> 
	internals. Configuration won't be covered too.
    The program developed throughout this tutorial was originally coded under WinNT
	and later ported without any adjustments to Linux and <EM>unixODBC</EM>. This is
	how compatibility should work :)
	<P>
	The information given within this tutorial are brief at best. Please
	take it as a pointer where and how to start. 
	</P><BR>
