Interbase has gone open source, and the 6.0 beta version ( Windows, Solaris, and Linux ) is now available for download from www.interbase.com. Looking at the contributed downloads, they have a Perl DBD driver, an AOLServer database driver for Linux, and a port of the ArsDigita Community System. Pity there is no Zope support except from ODBC in Win32 - and that is extremely unstable in my experience. ------- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.com/dynamo - The Homebuilt Dynamo http://www.compkarori.com/dbase - The dBase bulletin
