 I was thinking along those lines, but there doesn't seem to be
a standard place to put it.  The developers install notes only
say to put it where your webserver has access to it.  Not particularly
helpful, but if it could be determined that it is included in
any of the major distros, or if there is a defacto place to put it,
then I'm all for it.

Areski,
	I see that A2Billing uses ADODB.  Do you include ADODB in that
package, or just recommend where to get it/install it?

Dan:

Your thoughts are pretty much in line with mine. I do see the benefits=20
of using ADODB. Perphaps we consider an install routine that looks for=20
ADODB, and if not found, it offers to download and install.
