Hi,

> 1) Are there any free components?

There are 2 at least:

MDO (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mdo/)

UIB (http://www.progdigy.com/?page_id=5)

Here in Brasil we can buy FIB+ with a special price, more accesible to our

FIB+ is easy to go with when you come from IBX. AFAIK, MDO is the samething.


good luck,
