 And Delphi TWAIN  http://delphitwain.sourceforge.net/ . The download source code does not include a project file so you will need to create a new package, "DelphiTwainComponent.bpl" and add the downloaded .pas files to this project, compile and install.

-To compile "out of the box" Zoom Accounts requires Delphi 2010 Enterprise or higher which ships with a [Firebird database](http://www.firebirdsql.org/ "Firebird database") driver.  
-Zoom Accounts should be compatible with older versions however if you want to use a Firebird database with an earlier Delphi you will need a third party dbExpress driver such as [InterExpress](http://www.upscene.com/products.dbx.dbx_fb.php "InterExpress") available form Upscene.  
+To compile "out of the box" Zoom Accounts requires Delphi XE6 Enterprise or higher.
+Application templates target a [Firebird database](http://www.firebirdsql.org/ "Firebird database") although this can easily be changed to another supported SQL Database of your choice.  
+Zoom Accounts is compatible (subject to the use of some modern language constructs) with older versions of Delphi however if you want to use a Firebird database with an earlier Delphi you may need a third party dbExpress driver such as [InterExpress](http://www.upscene.com/products.dbx.dbx_fb.php "InterExpress") available form Upscene.  
 If you have Delphi Professional then Zoom Accounts would be relatively easy to modify to use the BDE.
