Case in point : in 7.3, the ODBC driver documentation (which was terse and
somewhat outdated, to begin with ...) has disappeared from the main tree.
You have to go to GBorg to find (some) relevant information (and no
examples, BTW). But to find an information I really needed, I had to use
... the driver source, fer Crissakes !! I felt back in '74, when I tried to
learn Fortran.

[ BTW : note to Hiroshi Inoue : Thank you ! I partially solved by problem,
and think a real solution is bound to to undoing some 7.2 to 7.3
modifications ...]

The same could be said of the JDBC driver, btw, while it's doc is still in
the main doc tree.

This one is one of my pet peeves at the moment ...
