Hi pavel,

first of all thx for the reply.
Well, now that i know of the existens of the example directory, i did
a little search on my box and found it in
the /usr/share/docs/firebird dir. My gentoo-linux system installs it
by default in that directory and not under the firebird root. Stupid
of me to not look in there!
I think with those examples i will be able to make what i want, and
use firebird as a DB.

As for if Borland hurd me ... no, but i am pissed off they made Kylix
look like a great way of programming under linux and let the project
die!
