Hi
Philip Copeman (philip@...) is the owner of Pinksoft/TurboCash
that dates back to about 1986. I think, in fact, that he put TurboCAD on the
market as well.
TurboCash is VERY well established accounting package (it is now open
source) and is developed in Delphi using Paradox at the moment. He is
looking to move to another databse, he is leaning towards MySQL and I want
him to switch to FireBird. He is aiming to have 2 million TurboCash users at
a stage. Wouldn't it be nice if they all used FireBird?
So I am trying to get Philip to get involved in this mailing list and took
it upon myself to post some of his opinions here.
Please bear with me/us. I would really like a major accounting system to
switch to FireBird.
Thx for understanding. BTW I prefer to be called Johan to Mr. van Zyl<g>

JVZ

Where on earth do these cryptic messages SHOUTED in pidgin come from? What
on earth does the (discernible) content of this have to do with any
Firebird topic, least of all the current thread?

Since Mr Van Zyl posted this, perhaps he would care to enlighten us...

Helen
