[lazarus] Interbase TDataset available.

[michael at tfdec1.fys.kuleuven.ac.be]

Hello,

For those that do Delphi Database Programming: 
There is now a descendent of TDataset available in Free Pascal which can be 
used to connect to a Interbase database server. 
The components are located in the FCL under
  fcl/db/interbase. 
(currently only in CVS, tomorrow also in source zips)

A simple 'make' in the db and db/interbase directories should compile
everything; a test program is provided.

The Interbase support was developed by Pavel Stingl (stingp1.eti at mail.cez.cz)
any problems can be reported to him, although you may report problems to 
me as well.

The components seem to work fine, but should be tested more intensively.
(Currently only a IB 6.0 client has been tested on a Linux platform)

Enjoy !

Michael.
