This is a driver for Microsoft Windows and ODBC applications. PC's running Windows which are able to address data stored on a UNIX host as a virtual DOS drive letter (using NFS or Samba for example) will be able to use this data in Windows applications.

Another thing to keep in mind is to make sure the DataFlex files are created in DOS format byte layout (Intel style). DOS products need a certain format, and DataFlex for Unix will work with either style, so if files are formatted in non-DOS layout, they can simply be copied to a DOS system, rebuilt, and then copied back to the UNIX system. The DataFlex for Unix applications will run as normal after the conversion.
