Hi Claudio,

thanks for your hint - the source tarball is exactly what I'm looking
for.

With 'evaluate' I actually meant to get the source code compiled. I
have evaluated the interbase 6.01 binary (on Solaris), and I am hooked
now- it's exactly what we need! I have built a 6.5 Gig Database
containing some million blobs for storing scientific measurement data,
and it works great.

But in order to push Firebird further in my organisation, I need to
demonstrate that we can build it on Solaris/Linux/Windows NT (as we
have a policy of _not_ using or shipping binaries that we haven't
compiled ourselfs). Further down the road we might need to port it to
HP-UX. I hope to be able to give something back to the Firebird
community eventually, once I'm getting into the code and can compile
it.

Thanks again,
GEORG
