Re: Is Kylix cursed?

David, Glad you got it going. I have not personally updated to 2.0 yet, but it has a lot of new stuff. BTW, you can get a free version of interbase to work under OE versions, but I forget the url, but search on Kylix and look for Dr. Bob's Kicks and you should be able to go from there. I am rewriting a major home-based app that used Delphi 5 and BDE. I was overwhelmed at first with dbexpress, but once I figured out that ctTable was basically the same as TTable,  I have converted/improved/rewritten about 80% of the app.  I have even been able to solve some roadblocks with queries I ran into under BDE. BTW, I am a physician, not a real programmer, but Delphi was so easy and cool, it is what got me writing my own apps. And with the stability of Linux, it was a natural conversion.  I hope you stick with Kylix, it should be a major  boon for Linux apps once folks catch on. Happy Holidays, Keith Boykin
