Hi all,

just when you thought you had me safely back lurking...

We have a product that runs against Interbase 5.5 - my boss has started to
look into Interbase 6 in the hope that we can move to that instead. I must
have taken my eye off the ball because it came as a surprise to me that you
still have to buy user licences if you use the official Interbase 6 product.

Which leads to my question - what is the status of the Firebird project at
the moment? If we wanted to deploy our software using Firebird rather than
IB6 (potentially to a large number of sites) then how close are things to a
production release, is the support operation up and running etc etc.

I personally would love to see us move down this route, it seems that the
future of Interbase _is_ Firebird - there certainly seems to be enough
momentum. I just need to provide answers to commercially-biased questions
from the "powers that be"...

Cheers
Gary
