   You can now run perldoc DBD::SearchServer to read the docs.
   In fact, most of the documentation previously found here is now relocated in pod format...

NEWS:
 Version 0.21: Very Important Changes.
	First, the driver name has changed to DBD::SearchServer. It was previously
	known as DBD::Fulcrum, but this was wrong.
 	Most notable changes:
	- support for table_info and dbish
	- ss_maxhitsinternalcolumns becomes a database-handle attribute
	- general cleanup of tests
	- reorganization of docs.

This driver supports the CursorName attribute via SQLGetCursorName.

=head2 Please be patient
I have not a lot of time to dedicate to this driver nowadays. If you find a problem,
and even better its solution, I will be very grateful if you let me know.

=head1 PLATFORM-SPECIFIC NOTES

=head2 Solaris
Reports have been in of problems running DBD::SearchServer under Solaris.
The problem usually manifests as a cryptic "relocation error" in ld.so.1.
You have this problem if a query succeeds using execsql but fails from a Perl program.
The solution (hopefully) is to set
	LD_PRELOAD=$FULCRUM_HOME/lib/libftft.so
in your environment.
Thanks to Juha Makinen (FI) who found the solution and relayed it to me.

=head2 Digital Unix

Very important instructions can be found in README.dec_osf.
