+This class is used for holding the data necessary for connecting to the ODBC 
+datasource.  That information includes: SQL environment handle, datasource

+optional fields held in this class are and file type, both for future 
+functions planned to be added for creating/manipulating datasource definitions.

+
+Constructor which allows initial settings of all the classes member variables.
+
+See the special not below on the henv parameter for forcing this constructor 
+to create a SQL environment handle automatically, rather than needing to pass 
+one in to the function.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{henv}{Environment handle used for this connection.  See 
+\helpref{wxDConnectInf::AllocHenv}{wxdbconnectinfallochenv} for how to create 
+an SQL environment handle.  NOTE: Passing in a NULL for this parameter will 
+inform the constructor that it should create its own SQL environment handle.  
+If NULL is passed for this parameter, the constructor will call 
+\helpref{wxDConnectInf::AllocHenv}{wxdbconnectinfallochenv} internally.  A 
+flag is set internally also to indicate that the HENV was created by the 
+constructor so that when the default class destructor is called, the 
+destructor will call \helpref{wxDConnectInf::FreeHenv}{wxdbconnectinffreehenv} 
+to free the environment handle automatically.}
+\docparam{dsn}{Name of the datasource to be used in creating wxDb instances 
+for creating connection(s) to a datasource.}
+\docparam{userID}{{\it OPTIONAL} Many datasources allow (or even require) 
+use of a username to determine privileges that connecting user is allowed 
+to have when accessing the datasource or the data tables.  Default is "".}
+\docparam{password}{{\it OPTIONAL} Password to be associated with the user 
+ID specified in 'userID'.  Default is "".}
+\docparam{defaultDir}{{\it OPTIONAL} Used for datasources which require the 
+path to where the data file is stored to be specified.  dBase is one example 
+of the type of datasource which requires this information.  Default is "".}
+\docparam{description}{{\it OPTIONAL} {\bf FUTURE USE} Default is "".}
+\docparam{fileType}{{\it OPTIONAL} {\bf FUTURE USE} Default is "".}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+It is strongly recommended that programs use the longer form of the 
+constructor and allow the constructor to create the SQL environment handle 
+automatically, and manage the destruction of the handle.
