I think instead of selling off Interbase with the rest of the IDE biz
Borland should re-open source it for v8. That way when the decide it was a bad idea they can re-close the source for v9. To bad they would still be loosing the rest of their IDE products. To bad I didn't have this idea a few (4) days ago <g>. -------------- Joe Bain www.iegsoftware.com |

But why? Why would they toss away value? What will they do with the staff? Why isn't Firebird taking the open source database world by fire? You've got to give a reason why this should be done, not just that you think its a good idea. Oliver Townshend |

Hmmm. Having the <g> on the first sentence might have alerted me. I suppose I should have done the 4 day maths... I thought you meant that you'd just bought/upgraded IB8 and wished you hadn't. Oliver |
