I agree, since I am not a C programmer (I use Delphi) I can't really
contribute that way, but I did purchase a CD from IB Phoenix, and
plan to purchase again, so I do contribute in my own small way :-)

I also contribute by telling everyone I can about Firebird and how
great it is.

I also feel that the 64bit file I/O is important and should be high
priority, sorry...Why bother even to create a 64bit file I/O version
if it is not that important....


Thanks,

Firebird as such.
