Sounds like it may be possible then.
Man, if someone where to come up with a simple example on just doing
something like adding two numbers or similar it might convince a few
Delphi/Kylix/Freepascal users to switch over from Firebird/Interbase.
I guess I could help with such a task if someone with C experience could
help also. I have Freepascal/Lazarus installed as well as Kylix.
Does anyone know what header would need to be ported to Pascal?
Later,
Tony
