This means more good news for me.

Forget about the InterBase stream. Borland repented from releasing
InterBase as open source and now they are only interested on making
money with it. They are even making InterBase incompatible with FireBird
by modifying a few features. In my personal opinion, they are not
playing a fair game.

You can get all you need from www.firebirdsql.org . However, you should
use the JDBC driver that is in the CVS server and not the release
downloadable from the official site.

As soon as I get CVS access, I will build the JDBC driver and put it in
my ftp site.

Rodolfo
