But this only works if you are hosting Zope on Windows, right?
 From what I understand, there is no ODBC adaptor for any of the *nix 
platforms..

Mybe somebody here knows.. What is the best way of getting access to 
a ODBC datasource from a Zope instance hosted on Linux?

  Is there a (perhaps third party) ODBC driver that runs on Linux that 
is cross-compatible?
