I have only been looking at these dbms' for a couple of weeks. One
thing I would like to be able to replicate Interbase dbs between two
servers. I understand that I could use the IBObjects replication
component to do this. My questions are:

- Would it be very complex to program this in Delphi using this
component? I'm totally new to Delphi, but have several years of
programming experience in a variet of languages.

- Once the replication has been set up, could it be maintained,
observed, and logged using general interbase tools (such as
Quickdesk, IBExpert, Marathon, etc), or would all this have to be
done via the IBObjects components?

- Are IBObjects limited to working with Interbase servers that are
running on a Win32 platform?

- Are there any known problems with IBObjects components that work
with Interbase dbs not working with Firbird dbs.
