Hi Mark,

<<Welcome back>>

Thanks - holidays were just too short, as always ;-)

<<
One thing I found was in the 1.6 release was the samples seem to be a
copy of the ones from 20, and I had to change a few (minor) things to
get them to compile under 1.6.

>>

Yes, they are the same - I left them alone for 1.6, thanks for the fix.
My vote goes for deleting them from 1.6 at all.

<<
I've looked at the interbase 6.0.1 version and all the changes in the
source (as I undertand it the binary is still the same) are a basic cleanup
of the build process ,and otherwise cleanup basically cosmetic, a single
licence line addition in most files, backup copies of the sample
databases. Things we've already covered in Firebird

>>

It is absolutely nonsense to have multiple source trees! Jesus, when will they
finally start to realize that?

<<
CVS access, Im not sure why that didn't work perviously I haven't changed
anything here that I know of, and generally we all have access to it. Oh
well sometimes waiting does help solve a problem.

>>

<g>

<<
There is also a new source code drop of interclient 2.0 at borland
http://www.borland.com/interbase/downloads/.

>>

more than 5MB for the sources!?
Yes, they should remove the installshield binaries.

<<
The patch file from comparing the original 2.0 source release to the new
source 2.0 release is at:
http://firebird.sourceforge.net/reports/IC20Drop2.patch.txt

>>

Did you note that Shaunak is using old development tools for it:
JBuilder 3.0, Delphi2.0(!) ... weird

<<
I don't want to cast anything on the people involved

>>

Of cause you are right. Shaunak was always willing to cooperate.
Yes, obviously it's an Inprise thing.

<<
Yep sounds good point to work on.

>>

Should I just go ahead and delete the unnecessary files/folders or does
sourceforge offer something for archiving?

<<
CVS is easy, checkout, stuff round, checkin, rollback if required ;-)

>>

lol
