ezRETS is an ODBC driver that connects to RETS servers. It is licensed under an open-source license. It allows ODBC-aware applications, such as Microsoft Office (Excel, Word,) to easily load data from a RETS compliant server using those applications built-in wizards and other tools. Its cross platform and runs on Linux and Windows. OS X support is planned.
Right now, we only have a binary version for windows, but that seems to be the most useful to the most people. For those who would like to see/edit/compile the source, the source is available via subversion as well as at the download page.
You can download it by visiting http://www.crt.realtors.org/projects/rets/ezrets/
Changes in this release

- NULL pointer exceptions that were a result of invalid table names now return an error.
- SQLFetchScroll now pays attention to FetchOrientation and returns an error if its not SQL_FETCH_NEXT.
