According to previous posts on this list regarding the reason for the BBW
pulling his CVS the payment he demanded from Inprise was not monetary but
instead the release of the IB documentation and testing suite.

I don't know if it is true but I believe this came from sources 'close' to
the wolf. Perhaps someone should at least try to contact him before going
ahead?

Cheers
Adam
