I am farely new with Delphi/Firebird and am administering a PC
product we sell which uses Firebird 1.0

We recently installed at a client inadvertantly knocking out another
application there which uses Interbase 6.

I have been told by a technical bod. of the other product that:

Interbase will not work with our version of Firebird.

While they had not done much if any testing of the issue his
understanding is:

1) the 2 use the same port, 3050

2) the same registry key

3) Firebird release Candidate 1.5 does supposedly work with Interbase

I would like to find out what options are available to us:

a) Are there any workarounds to allow the 2 products to coexist?

b) Otherwise what version would we need to upgrade to?

c) How easy is such an upgrade likely to be?

d) Is it still free?

e) Is there a good site for this issue?

thanks for any input,
Matthew
