    + Added missing files to allow compilation using non standard
      build system. Please note that some contribs require external
      packages, so to succesfuully compile them you will have to
      set a proper environment variable, pointing to a list of
      directories, containig required package header files. Those
      envvars are listed below :
         APOLLO_INC
         FIREBIRD_INC
         FREEIMAGE_INC
         GD_INC
         MYSQL_INC
         PGSQL_INC
         ZLIB_INC
         ADS_INC
      Note that those envvars may contain list of directories,
      for example :
         export ADS_INC="/usr/include include ."
      Also note that on Windows systems, using MingW or Cygwin, you will
      have to generate a proper import files from dlls, available in those
      packages - using MingW or Cygwin dlltool - to build end user programs,
      utilizing those packages.

      library.

README 23/12/2003 - Harbour Low Level api for Firebird and Interbase RDBMS

This work is not finished yet. It's to be seem like Harbour TMysql routines.

To use with bcc, you need import library, ex: implib fbclient.lib fbclient.dll or implib gds32.lib gds32.dll. 
On Linux you will need link fbclient.so, this can be found usually at /usr/lib.

For full firebird documentation look at:

Firebird home: http://firebird.sourceforge.net/index.php
Api: http://www.ibphoenix.com/downloads/60ApiGuide.zip
Data Definition: http://www.ibphoenix.com/downloads/60DataDef.zip
Language Reference: http://www.ibphoenix.com/downloads/60LangRef.zip
Developers guide: http://www.ibphoenix.com/downloads/60DevGuide.zip

The Class implementation has no all implementation like TMysql has, because Firebird it's diferent.
For example, you can't navigate in records like Mysql do, ex: Getrow( number of row ), in firebird you can 
just go forward.

You will need ibase.h, it can be found at firebird/include

FILES:

firebird.c - Low level api
TFirebird.prg - Class implementation, it's to be seems like TMysql.

tests\simple.prg - Simple test class
tests\stress.prg - Stress test class
tests\test.prg   - Testing using only low level api
tests\test.c     - Pure C code to test firebird access.

TODO:

Full implementation of blob control. For now, we have only partial control, only for text blobs (sybtype 1).
Improve Insert and Update commands using DSQL.

Implements to do:
FBOpenBlob( blob_id )
FBReadBlob(blob_id, string, segment_size)

FBCreateBlob()
FBPutBlob(blob_id, string, segment_size)

FBCloseBlob( blob_id )


BUGS:

Fix a few windows gpf and linux segment fault. I Need some help to find what's going on here.


That's all folks and sorry my poor english
