Subject ANN: version 0.8.4 of InterBase Workbench!
Author m.tonies@upscene.demon.nl
Hi ladies, gentlemen,

Upscene Productions is happy to announce a new version of InterBase
Workbench - the developer tool for InterBase and Firebird.

InterBase Workbench gives you an easy-to-use application to create,
edit and extract your database objects, export tables, run scripts
and ad-hoc SQL statements and much much more... InterBase Workbench
works well on low-bandwith connections because of extensive caching
when using the Object Editors... Download now at

(http://www.ibobjects.com) - the best Delphi and CBuilder InterBase
connectivity set available and supports InterBase and Firebird
databases.
