I'm for my part really wanting to actively participate in the development
of firebird. What keeps me from doing this is ... once again ... C !

I'd really like to contribute something useful, but as long as i need
a pack of tools and C Compilers (that i don't have) i'm afraid i'll
never even manage to recompile the thing myself. I have followed this list
for a while, but whenever i see c sourcecode i just skip it... 

So, if anybody is seriously planning to port the thing to Delphi (or
any other Pascal lng) i'd be the first to participate (i'd rather
work on something i can *read* ;-)

Meanwhile, all i can do is THANK YOU ALL for doing such a great job here!

fwiw,
fingerman
