I switched to FastReport some time ago, and use IBObjects
native mode almost exclusivly. I have the source code for
both, so if there is a problem I can look at it myself - and
have done so.

I have dropped any library that I don't have the source for
much the same reason.

I ask again, what else do you need from Firebird?
( I think we can ignore Interbase in this discussion <g> )
