Openlink and DaaDirect (formerly Merant) do drivers for ODBC access to the
Progress database. Both (AFAIK) have demo drivers available.

Following on from Kevin's comments, you haven't stated which type of
Progress database you want to connect to. Depening on which version
you choose, there are two options.

You can use a Single-Tier option which only requires a Client
connection to the database (SQL-92 and Progress 9 only) or
alternatively, you can use our MT solution which is applicable to
Progress 7 - 9 (SQL-89/4GL or SQl-92). Incidentally, there is also a
How-to available for Perl from www.iodbc.org.

One more thing to keep in mind.. From V10, Progress will no longer support
SQL-89 connections (as per Gus).
