We already have it thanks, and it took me a couple of minst realise
the connection.

Since this is now well off topic, is there a general chit-chat forum
for this?

Just mentioned it to my boss, when I said the conf was in Prague he
said "It would be", which translates as "Up yours pal", but pester
power is a wonderfull thing.

Although I have relatively little time to read/reply to this forum I
am more than willing to offer any assistance via email.

For the benefit of others we are using RH linux/ firebird/ kylix for a
n EPoS solution for a retail of 100+ stores in the UK and ROI
providing till, store back office functionality, central datawarehouse
and replication, reporting and inventory management.

If anyone needs any help pretaining to Firebird use in a retail
environment I'm only too happy ro help.
