If it is there in the code, it can not be seen anywhere in the UI that I
know of, so to all intents and purposes, users are unaware that it is
actually there. I seem to recall that it was phased out of the UI
sometime during the development of the new Base module with integration
of HSQLDB, i.e. somewhere between OOo 1.1.x and OOo 2.x

I would expect that most people here, if they didn't know
StarOffice/OpenOffice.org from the beginning, would probably not even
know that there was Adabas support floating around, and indeed, as I
said, I thought that Adabas no longer worked with OOo/LibO.
