Hiead	Since MySQL was implemented for Windows, but it requires that MySQL is available to the system (well, duh), would it be possible to implement a small function or something to test if it is (CheckMysql() or something, dunno)? Perhaps such a test could even be implemented into the MySQL lib so developers can handle different situations. Hiead

If mysql isn't available, the library (Dantom.DB) will output an error.
