update, Borland hasn't done anything to produce or support open

have the phoenix t-shirt promoting the release of Interbase as open

to clear a roadlbock. For how many months now? If the Delphi 2005
launch was the issue, what's now holding him back? Where's the
information "as soon as possible" since October?

it. WHEN they finally realised that was a major mistake they reinstated
Interbase as a product, but fortunately for those of us who were reliant
on Interbase for production systems, the cat was out of the bag, and
Firebird gives us much better control of the product.
Unless Kylix goes the same way, I see little point in trying to
'support' it. Borland have let it fall too far behind for them to be
able to afford to bring it up to date.

is undecided. They might pick it up again, like they did with C++Builder (which also
looked pretty dead already), or maybe they won't.

Borland Germany is still selling Kylix. It's available from their webshop directly
(shop.borland.de) and also available through their reseller channels.

Kind of like Free CLX. I see they supported FreeCLX, why there's
even an update there to download!

I really need to get over the Interbase issue. My point was - Ivan
spoke of open source Interbase, you replied with regular Interbase.
Two different things.

product and purchased a pack of licences at that time - was that
Interbase was killed off. The move to open source it only came after
much pressure from those of us with many years invested in the product.
That same pressure also resulted in Borland rethinking, and reinstating
Interbase as a product. *SO* they are the same thing, but those of us
who are now making more money because we don't have to pay for licences
are a lot happier and don't have to keep looking over our shoulders for
the next end of life ;)
Kylix is, as Builder was, stuck in limbo awaiting Borlands whims ...

It is very sad that we can't buy in US -- think of the 'Discount Coupons',
if I remember correctly they were 30% of list price...
speaker of the roadshow (you can see his picture on

www.borland.de, because I'd like to send him a notice ;-)
