Well, they are free.. as the name suggests. I also beleive that FIB is the
basis for the VCL that will be included in IB 6. They seems to work and
seem to be speedy. For a more complete review, Peter Hyde is probably the
man as I know he used IBObjects extensively.
Peter...?
You can get FIB from http://interbase.com.

Peter,
On a tangent to your query, what benefits do the FIB components offer over
IBObjects, and where can I find them. We're getting our Interbase
installation set up for testing this week.
