[DUG] Datebases with Delphi

[Steve Peacocke]

I never came across any problems with the Client/Server side, but that
doesn't mean there weren't any. I find that they are generally very
good and can fix most bugs overnight.

They do have a fully functional demo available - must have Delphi
running when demo is running but otherwise a full system (limited to
3-5 users I think in C/S mode).
