Lte me clarify the above, its highly likely that Motorola do not use InterBase,
since the contract they had with Borland specifically stated HPUX and a private
port. That contract should now be out of date, and since Borland haven't produced
an HPUX port, it would be safe to assume that Motorola are either still using
old versions of InterBase or have moved to another platform.
Nokia, was a fairly small project. Big name, smallish project :-)
Someone at Boeing did get in touch with me about Firebird, but whether they are still using it or
not I don't know. And whether it was for a new project or loking at moving across I don't know.
The Boston Stock Exchange have spoken to Ann about Firebird...
There are reference to the Money Store and InterBase around 2001 on the
lists, but nothing since then...
There is a reference to NASA and InterBase around 1999.
National Semiconducter (an old InterBase user) have been testing Firebird, because Matt Bays an
old friend of ours (Ann and mine) has been in touch and has been on the
Firebird lists.

However one thing I can say for certain is that
Micex (Moscow InterBank Currency Exchange) have moved from InterBase 4 to Firebird 1.03.
I worked with them on the build and bug fixes :-) And IBPhoenix has a support contract
with them ....
