Ops!!! Once again you are right and I'm wrong. Just checked
sourceforge.net/projects/interbase (the web-site for IB Open)
and I could verify the last closed bug is dated nov/19/2001,
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=482931&group_id=1962&atid=101962).
We have 12 days before it turns over 4 years...

Why off-topic? An upgrade path is a perfectly valid way to
solve problems. For example, I see people (in delphi.non-tech)
all the time sugesting D2006 as a solution to D2005 pains...

Right now there is another post by the same FrankW, without
responose since oct/24. If he insists on IB 6 Open, he will
be talking to himself in no time.
