Hmmm... A quick look through the code makes it appear that TIB_Import
is intentionally left out in all versions prior to D5/BCB5. Not sure
what the problem is, but I guess there must have been a reason.

You could try adding it to see what needs to be done - it could be
that it was just never tested under D3. Depends on how adventurous
you feel :-)

Check out the various utility links from Claudio's side
(http://www.cvalde.com/) and IBDI (http://www.interbase2000.org/) -
and there are probably others if you just do a generic search. There
are sure to be some utilities out there than can help you do the
import - you may even find something to go directly from whatever
database format you are using.
