-    and OpenLink <SMALL>ODBC</SMALL>.</P>

-    <P>OpenLink <SMALL>ODBC</SMALL> can be gotten from <A href=
-    "http://www.openlinksw.com/">http://www.openlinksw.com</A>. It
-    works with their standard <SMALL>ODBC</SMALL> client software so
-    you'll have PostgreSQL <SMALL>ODBC</SMALL> available on every
-    client platform they support (Win, Mac, Unix, VMS).</P>
+    <P>The PostgreSQL install includes only the <SMALL>C</SMALL> and embedded
+    <SMALL>C</SMALL> interfaces.  All other interfaces are independent projects
+    that are downloaded separately;  being separate allows them to have their
+    own release schedule and development teams.</P>
 
-    <P>They will probably be selling this product to people who need
-    commercial-quality support, but a freeware version will always be
-    available. Please send questions to <A href=
-    "mailto:postgres95@openlink.co.uk">postgres95@openlink.co.uk</A>.</P>
+    <P>Some programming languages like <SMALL>PHP</SMALL> include an
