I did it a couple of years ago. S&R'ed all TIB -> TIBO. Worked fine
for me. Just make sure you S&R case-sensitively _and_ you don't have
other TIB strings around, otherwise you have to do it class by class.

But that only gives you the TDataset compatible classes. If you want
the richer native IBO classes (TIB_*) you may need to adjust things
manually. For instance: there is no TIB_Table, classes behave
differently, have different sets of members etc.

Good luck! Maybe we could start a petition if your boss remains
reluctant :-)
