The visionary gadfly in our office (also known as the Big Boss) asked what
would be involved in making the information in a database available through
Z39.50.  (I'm thinking about the fairly simple SQL database at
http://www.pinellascountyhistory.com/ .)

I know we'd have to have something that acts as a Z39.50 server, and we'd
also have to have something that connects the first something to the backend
database, mapping fields.

Can anyone suggest toolkits and/or point out things I should be pondering?
