title: Connecting to Progress database from Mac OSX
body: <p>Does anyone know how to connect to a Progress 9.1E database from a Mac (or even from Linux)?</p>
  
  <p>I can connect successfully from Windows but the JDBC driver requires that the Progress install directory and it's bin directory are in the path.</p>
  
  <p>It seems to be one product that is firmly under Google's radar. <a href="http://www.openlinksw.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OpenLink</a> has an OSX driver but it is a paid for product, which is fine, but as this is for development use only I'd rather find a free alternative.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
