Ah, that makes sense. If it had just asked... Actually, I still
couldn't have helped it. I don't know what we are trying to patch.
And that led to my new problem. I tried the API directory, and even the
sub-directory with all the headers and such (sqlplusint), but it still
didn't know what file it needed and I didn't either. It occurred to me
to use the mySQL directory, but I didn't want to mess with that. Still,
it was exciting to get a response. Here is the transcript.
And thanks again for the prompt help.
