With the BDE to IBO Conversion process automation using a GReplace .rep
script you can maintain your app in a single code base.

So, what you do is continue to develop your app with the BDE and when it's
time to produce a version for InterBase run the conversion process to make a
new set of project sources and compile a separate EXE using IBO with the BDE
eliminated totally. You will have two different EXE's for your overall
product but you will have full capability to take advantage of InterBase and
Firebird with your application.
