This file documents how to uninstall the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge.

During the beta testing any previous versions of the ODBC-ODBC Bridge
should be removed BEFORE reinstalling or installing a new beta.

Windows
-------

To uninstall the ODBC-ODBC Bridge in Windows run add/remove programs
from the start menu -> control panel. Select the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC
Bridge and click on OK. You may be prompted for further advice on the
removal of shared DLLs. Generally speaking it is safer to say no to
the removal of shared DLLs but if you are confident the DLL is not
used by any other products on your machine you can select YES.

UNIX
----

There is no automated method of removal of the ODBC-ODBC Bridge in the
beta release. However, removal is quite simple. Follow the
instructions below:

To remove the client side of the OOB:

[1] Change directory to INSTALLPATH/easysoft/oob (or
    INSTALLPATH/easysoft for older betas) and delete the directory
    tree "client" (where INSTALLPATH is what was specified at install
    time).

[2] If you had to add the above path to the dynamic linker search
    paths (e.g. /etc/ld.so.conf in Linux) remove this entry. You may
    have to run a linker command such as /sbin/ldconfig to get the
    dynamic linker to reread the configuration file. This step can
    generally only be performed by the root user.

To remove the server side of the OOB:

[1] You need to be the root user to accomplish this task.

[2] Change directory to INSTALLPATH/easysoft/oob and delete the
    directory tree "server" (where INSTALLPATH is what was specified
    at install time).

[3] If there are no other Easysoft products installed at INSTALLPATH
    then you should be able to delete the entire directory tree "easysoft".

[4] Remove the esoobserver (the default, you may have specified a different
    name during installation) entry from the /etc/services file. It will
    look something like this:

    esoobserver      8888/tcp                # Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge

    and be towards the end of the file.

[5] Remove the esoobserver (the default, you may have specified a
    different name during installation but in any case use the same
    name as in step [4]) entry from the /etc/inetd.conf file. It will
    look something like this:

    esoobserver      stream  tcp     nowait  root    /bin/sh /bin/sh /usr/local/easysoft/oob/server/SERVER

[6] Tell inetd to re-read its configuration files by sending the inetd
    process a SIGHUP. You can use ps to get the inetd process ID and
    then kill -HUP PID to tell inetd to re-read the configuration
    files.
