Alright, I'm vacillating again( and obsessing), but most here have no idea of the importance of this. I'm still convinced the ADS is the original unadulterated product, but am leaning the other way regarding the ACS. Reading this excerpt from the website gives the impression that it will work with any two databases.

"ANTs Compatibility Server is a database virtualization middleware solution that allows application code — queries, stored procedures, and functions — from legacy databases to run natively and transparently against the new target database with minimal to no application rewriting and recompiling. The legacy application operates as if it were still communicating with the original legacy database, while the new target database operates as if it were communicating with a native application."

The original ACS would only work with Sybase on one end and Oracle or IBM on the other and OK, the the above could still be referring to the 2 versions known to exist, but nowhere on that page does it mention those 3 companies in the proper context. It mentions 2 of them later on, but in the context of rewrites and recompiled, which I believe is talking about the database you're moving from. Having other libraries besides Sybase mentioned makes me very curious. I'm starting to get giddy again. C'mon Rik, confirm it!
