***WARNING*****WARNING*****WARNING*****WARNING**

    In addition to installing DBD-Sybase
    you will need to download and install

        Adaptive Server Enterprise version 12.5 for NT.
        Developer's Edition U.S. Download (Client)

        http://download.sybase.com/eval/ASE_dev_win/NTclient.exe

    Be careful as it is big.
    Also, since I do not have access to a Sybasedb,
    this package hasn't been tested.

I ran it through Komodo, and it's quite happily recognizing this module.  YAY!

So, next question... I'm assuming the WARNING up there is from crazyinsomniac, and I do need to download those files. Yes?

THANKS!    Lori   -D
