a few bugs

Over all odbcSS seems great, but there are a few things
that are keeping me from using it in production.

1.) 1024 char SQL selects. Ive fixed this by increasing
my own buffer, but the proper way to fix it would be to
make it dynamic. 1024 blocks or something. I belive you
said this is fixed in .93! (if only I could find .93)

2.) No "!"'s. Cant use exclamation marks (or question
marks, but I have no use for question marks). This
sucks for doing logical NOT's. I've made a hack for
this, but it is specific to my case (and not a very
good hack at that!).

3.) Only one DSN. It would be great to have access to
multiple DSN's at a time. Once again I made a quick
hack by duplicating the connection code. (and once
again a very poor hack)

4.) The last problem is a big one. Under stress (such
as hitting "Refresh" a lot) the odbcSS chokes and goes
into lala land. I have the threads set to 1, but it
doesnt matter, one thread freezes, and then it wont
allow new ones. I've tried this on multiple NT servers
and workstations so im pretty sure its not a special
case. I would appreciate it if someone could verify this.

Like I said odbcSS is a great app, I hope development
is still going!
