How much do these cost? Our exchange rate in India is a killer - Rupees 45
for 1$. Which of these - IBO,FIBPlus or any other native IB ones - are
economical?


I want to convert a medical store software that has been deployed over 110
shops in my place. The sad thing is that it was done in premitive Delphi
1.0 (16 bit) and the BDe that came with D1. The sadder thing is that I am
entrusted to maintain the Interbase database, but don'nt have the source
code of Delphi prog.


I know the following is next to impossible.

Is there a way to hack out the BDE and use IBO instead without
recompilation ?
