The current 'suggestion' is that this was all just a rumor
and that Borland 'had other ideas'. I was just trying to
establish IF there was ever a statement from Borland before
the Open Source activity. The old grey cells seem to think
that SOMETHING was printed to the effect that Interbase was
to be phased out, and it was that which prompted the
activity, rather than just rumors in the newsgroups?
