    It does? Under Linux emu I guess?

    Their product literature doesn't seem to claim it, so I never really
    looked at it. I suspect there are a lot of folks like me who do the
    same thing - making it difficult to really gauge demand. I know I would
    sure like a native version of 'DB2 Connect' for FreeBSD, but the numbers
    quoted above sound about like the numbers quoted when someone asked about
    DB2 connect a year or two ago.
