One of the developers who has the thankless task of supporting an "old" Sybase 11-based application came looking for an installation of the "Intersolv" Sybase ODBC driver. He showed me the documentation - sure eneough, the original developer (long since left) has specified Intersolv. The Intersolv name rang a bell from my spell of Powerbuilder development eight years ago, but I haven't heard the name in a long time.
After a bit of digging I found that Intersolv is now DataDirect. I installed the ODBC driver from one of my old Sybase 12.0 PC Client installation disks - and no problems so far. I see from Five Salmon's Sybase Zone that Merant, another old name, is also now part of DataDirect.
