Reggie,

Just my 2 cents.

IB Phoenix is not the company behind Firebird. As Helen stated, Firebird
is unfunded and managed by volunteers, not by a company. You're not the
first one and maybe not the last one to have this misconception about IB
Phoenix and Firebird.

I can see your disagreement with IB Phoenix for not answering your
e-mail. IB Phoenix is a company offering "paid technical support" for
Firebird and Interbase, even though they have a website with technical
support information and distribute CDs of Firebird. If you notice,
Firebird's website is not the same as IB Phoenix.

Have a nice day.
