<QUOTE>
I just received a newsletter from Revelation Software which mentioned that there is now an ODBC driver available for OpenInsight.



Is this true (can't see any mention of it on website) and does it work for Arev files?

<QUOTE>It is true and it requires OpenInsight to be properly licensed to work. It can be used against AREV data with specific caveats relating to MFSs etc.

<QUOTE>So if I'm running Arev 3.12 I would need to buy an OI license before I could read the Arev data with the ODBC driver? any idea of the cost of an OI license and the driver?



I've just done some research and now I know what an MFS is. I doubt that I have one, but can you tell me how I can tell for sure?  If I do, what are the caveats?



Do you know if there's any information about the driver on the Revelation website?

Thanks, I see it now.



There are actually only 2 different links I can see - the white paper and the order form.  Is there any info on licensing requirements? The Sprezzatura Group said that I'd need an OI license to run the driver. I can't find any information about that anywhere.
