I test everything when I can as it is updated, but as yet I have had no need 
to change anything. I STILL have not got to a state where I can do much on the 
windows side, and have no intention on using M$ compilers on the development 
machines, but I DO now have the php_interbase code into PHPEclipse on Linux 
and can at least play with it. I've just done two big upgrades which use 
Apache2/FB2/PHP5.2.6 at this stage and that is unlikely to be moved to PHP5.3 
as we will leave things alone now that it is running. They are on private 
networks so the PEAR bits has had to be 'imported', and the IT departments 
like to block my ability to change things once the systems are live.

It's native Unicode and Firebird that we need to work on hence the wish to 
start playing with at least an alpha of PHP6 rather than spending time 
re-testing things in PHP5.X :(
php_interbase passes all my tests fine now so what still needs doing?

( And I think my posts to internals@ are now being blocked ? )
