>Well I have just ordered Kylix 2 enterprize. If Borland continues at this pace of every 6 months a new version - they will lose me. I just can't afford the price to keep current.

Borland is certainly following the MS model of calling bug fixes an 'upgrade', giving it a new version number, and then charging for it. You might want to try Kylix Open Edition using the GPL CLX toolset. You can bypass the nag screen with a -s switch.

Isn't that driver only available for the Developer Edition?

You can "CREATE TABLE AS", using an existing table and selecting all but the fields you wish to drop. You havn't damaged the existing table either, if something goes wrong.

>I also have not figured out how to scan as in foxpro. But I guess all of that will come.

Scan? As ind "SCAN ... ENDSCAN"?
That depends on your odbc connection, unless you us psql directly.

You are not spending much on Linux. If you use an ISO or share a CD you don't spend anything! You are spending money on commerical 3rd party products. It isn't any different in the WinXX world.

If you are familiar with C++ and you want a state-of-the-art GUI RAD tool then you should check out the latest release of KDevelop. It is GPL (read 'free').
It awesome! I love it. It includes tabulated documentation for both C++ and the QT toolset, plus a documentation generator for your own app.
