Hello again to you all.

I am experimenting with using MySQL as the database end of my DJGPP program.
Running the mysqld.exe server, and using the mysql.exe client to send and
receive SQL queries works fine, except that it's _slow_.  I think this is
due to the startup time for mysql.exe, a win32 application.  (Why do win32
apps take so long to startup?)

Are there any libraries that hack their way through to the server APIs,
eliminating the need for mysql.exe?  (I understand that libsocket does this
with windows sockets.)

Thanks,
Edmund.
