LPC Consulting Services announces a major enhancement release for ODBTalk, the leading Smalltalk database framework for ODBC. This product provides the Smalltalk developer with full ODBC SDK 2.1, level 2 support to allow access of more than 50 databases with the same application code across operating systems(Win32s, Windows-NT, Windows-95) and Smalltalk environments. It includes a framework for mapping Smalltalk classes to relational tables and vice-versa based on types and brokers, ideal for complex client-server applications.

    Compatibility with Digitalk's maintenance release 3.01 of Visual Smalltalk for Win32.
  2. SLL Packaging SupportSupport for SLL's.
    ODBTalk is now released in SLL format only (with source code).
  3. Team/V Support

  4. ENVY/Developer support

  5. WindowBuilder Pro Workbench Support

  6. Xotery Package Manager support

  7. Improved Installation Procedure
