RemoteDB Gateway is a SHAREWARE program that lets Java and native Windows applications access ODBC data sources configured on a remote computer. The package consists of a JDBC driver and 16-bit and 32-bit ODBC drivers that communicate with a 32-bit server process running under Windows NT/95/98. The server process provides access to the full array of ODBC data sources that have been configured on the server machine. The RemoteDB Gateway JDBC driver is a Type 3 driver written using *pure* Java allowing it to run on virtually any platform. Java applications or applets that utilize JDBC for database access can now exploit the capabilities of RemoteDB Gateway to access remote ODBC data sources. In addition, Windows applications that have been designed to work with a particular data source can now access that same data source from a remote computer. It is as simple as configuring a data source on the remote computer to use either the REMOTE16 or REMOTE32 ODBC
