hi,

some time ago when discussion APQ or Ada and databases,
Brian May suggested URL-like strings describing database
connections. A parser library for such strings (data
source names) is now available at
 http://home.arcor.de/bauhaus/Ada/dsn.html

The library is at version 0b.2, that is, it has bugs.
Some are known, some are fun. The distribution contains
a small sample program that allows interactive checking
of DSNs.

Documentation is available in source, and as
 http://home.arcor.de/bauhaus/Ada/dsn.pdf

I have tried to make the interface simple, any comments
as to whether it is usable or whether it should go down
the drain will affect following versions.
