Our appl. suite is made of 3 appl.
1 of them is made with IBO.
The other 2 are made with IBX.
IBX isn't very good, but in the very near future we will switch them
to FIB (this because the rewritting of the code is easyer).

I do hope, that FIB will offer some of the same features as IBO.
Whatever the offer, it must be more than IBX ;-)
