Robert,

I thought that the downloads from the Interbase or Borland site where
certified builds.

Also, as others have suggested/stated, a certified build has nothing to
do with the availability of an ODBC driver.

Are you aware that Inprise is going to release a "certified" IB
6? I assume this means we pay for the "certified" label and get
the ODBC driver with it.

Do you think that this is what Inprise means by "certified"? I
would think it would be more than that.
