Hi Rynt,
Thanks for your help :) I looked the MSDN page but it seemed that at
least I need Windows to use its DLL, while unfortunately I'm on Linux.
I need to read (and later write) .wab from other Win users.
CSV is fine, and that's how I am doing it right now. The problem is I
cannot automate the process of exporting .wab to .csv on Linux. Also,
I lose all the identity-property mapping in .wab since .csv is really
a flat 2D table.
Any other suggesions? :)
Rio
