-libiodbc is an ODBC implementation that allows access to a variety
-of databases
+iODBC (intrinsic Open Database Connectivity) is an ODBC driver manager that
+is compatible with the ODBC 2.x and 3.x specifications. It performs the
+standard tasks of a driver manager, i.e. driver loading, parameter and
+function sequence checking, driver function invocation, etc.
-- Erik H. Bakke
-erikhb@bgnett.no
+Applications linked with the iODBC driver manager will be able - through ODBC
+function calls - to access simultaneously different types of data sources
+within one process through suitable ODBC drivers.
+
+iODBC is freely redistributable under either the GNU Library General Public
+Licence (LGPL) or the BSD licence.
