Im a delphi developer and pass for the same election. Just drop IBX and
get a compatible set of components. FIB+ is the most easy to migrate
from IBX , but IBO seems more flexible (i never use IBO). I use FIB+
because my client have the licence on that and work fine. Is so Easy the
migration from IBX to FIB+, i write a script doing the job.
