While IBO3 was a single complete package, IBO4 comes as
several modules, one of which is the TDataset compatable
interface, and can be used on it's own.

There are several extra bolt on's relating to text search
and replication, which I have not even played with yet,
along with a Web interface - again something I have not
used. You only need to install the bits you want to use.
