>Status:
>
>You have expressed interest in the Macintosh version mSQL I am working on
>in the past. If you do not wish to receive such announcement, please let me
>know.
>
>I've just uploaded version 1.0a5 of Mac mSQL. I've declared the API as beta
>and have been having no problems with it. I've added a new call that
>returns the current value of msqlErrMsg for Real Basic users, who don't
>have access to global variables.
>
>The main improvement, however, is in the mSQL Monitor application. The
>application now offers the functionality of the msql and relshow tools.
>There is very, very rough printing support for the relshow data. I never
>realized what a pain printing is, and can understand why so many
>applications print so poorly.
>
>The coolest new feature is AppleScript support. AppleScript can be used to
>learn about the schema of databases, tables, and indexes. Query support
>also works. The distribution includes sample AppleScripts to get you
>started, along with some basic documentation (of the API and scriptability).
>
>I'd really appreciate any feedback I can get on the AppleScript dictionary
>and scripting architecture. I tried to follow the Database Suite as much as
>possible but had to make compromises since mSQL is not a full-fledge RDBMS.
>
>The download is available at <http://www.lilback.com/msql/>.

>Thanks,
