I would like to do the opposite: use my VMS system to act
as an ODBC server to the Windoze systems.   What have people
used, and what do you recommend?

All our data is in RMS indexed files.   Files range from
100,000 40KB records to one with a few million 32-byte
records.   A typical lookup would involve merging data
from a dozen records in three files before returning
it to the user.

In our case, simple is better.   Inexpensive is better yet.  :-)
