PLBWIN Runtime Requirements
The following software is required for distribution of the Sunbelt PL/B for Windows runtime. Note that installation of the complete Sunbelt package at a user site requires that a site license be purchased for that site. Only the following files and the user generated external module (PLBWEX32.DLL) may be distributed royalty free.

|
SUNWMSQL.DLL |
This DLL is the interface driver for the MYSQL Database engine. This DLL is loaded for a DBCONNECT operation when a driver indicator is specified for the <host> and the driver indicator is specified in the runtime INI file. See DBCONNECT for more details. |
|
SUNWADO.DLL |
This DLL is the interface driver for the Microsoft ADO ( ActiveX Data Objects ) interface that provides access to multiple database engines. For specifics on ADO, see the Microsoft ADO documentation. This DLL is loaded for a DBCONNECT operation when a driver indicator is specified for the <host> and the driver indicator is specified in the runtime INI file. See DBCONNECT for more details.
Note: In release 9.6, three ADO drivers were generated and named:
sunwado.dll - Compatible with 9.5 and earlier versions of driver.
sunwado25.dll - Compatible with 9.5A and 9.5B versions of driver.
sunwado28.dll - Created using latest ADO interface libraries.
The user should choose the appropriate 9.6 version of a SUNWADO driver depending on the previous version that was being used. |
When a PLBWIN.EXE is being loaded from a CD-ROM, the following rules apply:
The ANSI.DEF, DBSERIAL, and PLBWIN.INI files must exist in the same directory as PLBWIN.EXE.
The PLB_SYSTEM entry in the PLBWIN.INI file is ignored and its value is set to the directory containing PLBWIN.EXE.
