Seems we are starting to get some serious competition ;)
AFAIK, they cover more or less the same features (except domains which 
we don't have)

BTW, it also says:

The source code for InterBase 6 is scheduled to be published during 
the first part of the year 2000.

Chould this "part" be 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/12 (or 1/1) ?
