Yup, thats what Ann said. And thats why I said I agree with his terms...I
was realizing his terms were due to his not liking the current release as
apposed to a request for money, so re-read what I said in that context.
BBW is holding out for INPRISE to release the docs and test suites for
INTERBASE you see :). I do think he should hold back anything new until
they are rational, but its still harming the interbase community and its
growth by holding it back as apposed to Inprise.
