class=343130003-09022006>IMHO, and not speaking for Borland _at all_, because
the IDE/InterBase products are valuable products (esp. the Borland Developer
Studio - Delphi/C#/C++) . Borland is not selling them because they are loosing
money, they aren't - at all. As far as I can make out, Borland is selling them
because Borland is an ALM company, not an IDE company - and hasn't been for
years.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
