[TriLUG] Access databases under linux

[Vestal, Roy L.]

I need to leave the Access DB as is. I need 2 Windoze based boxes to access
the DB and 1 Linux box. On the Linux box, I have Win4Lin and VMware, so I
can get to it via them, but I don't want to use them if possible. I like
having resources available. :)

Not sure about accessing, but if you want to convert, you might
take a look at this page:

 History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times
 of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to 
 endure.  --  Justice Thurgood Marshall, 1989
