I understand that, and that is waht I was trying to say earlier, re my remark, that this is not going to be an easy task.

Perhaps I should just leave it for Jason then .. whenever he is going to get to it.

Anybody using any other tool, that nearly comes close to IBO, and has CONSTANT support?

It's really not just a matter of replacing all "string" with "AnsiString",
yes,
that might give you IBO in D2009, but probably will fail with TIBODataset
and other Delphi class descendants.

And even then, IBO should make use of the unicode string to get data from
Firebird and send unicode queries to it.
