[DB-SIG] ODBC VC++ 5 Compilation

[Donald A. Daugherty]

I get numerous errors from wchar.h and then a whole host of other errors
when I try to compile (I downloaded this just today).

I followed the instructions to the letter (I am only learning VC++ and my
C/C++ experience is limited).  Can you shed any light on this?  I am
downloading the current M$ universal data access SDK, it was the only thing
I saw when I went looking for the ODBC SDK.  It implies that it includes the
ODBC stuff as well.  Let me know, I am very interested in getting this
compiled.  Thanks!
