I'm not surprised you didn't find anything on Mac OSX: Adabas D support is only enabled on Windows NT and its descendants, Linux, Solaris Sparc and NetBSD. > Additionally, the community edition of Adabas is only available for > Windows Vista and 7 users, I just went over to Software AG's website and > checked.

I'll have a word on the developpers channel; if nobody uses it anymore, I don't see why we couldn't disable Adabas D support everywhere. -- Francois Tigeot -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
