I  am working with IB 6.5 which came with a 5 user client-server license
when I upgraded to BCB6. Unfortunately the distributed docs are for IB 6.0.
There does not seem to be any way to get the updated 7.0 documentation
without paying $50 for the Media Kit and then $200 for the server license
after 90 days. While these prices are not steep for developing with
Interbase, they are if one already has payed for the $400 BCB6 upgrade which
includes the server and 5 client licenses. Unfortunately I don't see any
other way to get updated documentation.
