Some of the docs are poor in places and, as I have posted on the
cppbuilder.documentation NG and on QC, actually missing some lines. I was

See reason above. I suppose it is a futile hope to expect better docs for
7.0.

I looked on the Interbase site and it didn't mention any upgrade prices.
Maybe I missed it.
