a new company that will provide service, support and hosting for a
new version of InterBase(R), the first open-source embedded

on the heels of Inprise/Borland’s announcement last month to
release InterBase 6, which is currently in beta, in open-source
form for multiple platforms, including Linux, Windows NT and
Solaris. The source code for InterBase 6 is scheduled to be
available mid-2000.”
