Colin,

<< Hi Tim, the new version has a problem.  When using the ODBC Administrator
to configure the new driver it ends up crashing and reports "ODBC
Administrator has stopped working"  the ODBC Administrator is then
restarted, but the configuration is lost.  This happens in both the 32 and
64 bit versions of the Administrator. >>

I can replicate this with the 64-bit version, but not the 32-bit version.
Are you sure that you're using the 32-bit administrator when you see the
error ?  The problem with the 64-bit version is an issue with the new 64-bit
Delphi compiler - it's getting screwy when dealing with some strings.

Scratch that - operator error.  There was an issue with the size of the
handles used in one of the ODBC calls - they were declared as 32-bit instead
of 64-bit, like they should have been, and that caused some screwy behavior
that just make it appear as if the compiler was generating the wrong code
(some string finalization code).

I'm uploading some new builds again that will fix this.  There is another
issue with the builds that requires this anyways, primarily that installing
on a 32-bit machine fails due to the installation trying to install into the
64-bit registry.
