I'm actually very happy with what I'm seeing with the 2007 edition.  It's 
quick and doesn't crash on me like 2006 did.  Codegear seems to be working
hard to throw off the mantle of crap that Borland (mis)management saddled
them with.

Hehe.  How are you communicating with D3 systems then?  Using some kind of
telnet session?

It was worth asking. :)

My problem is that I'm working under kind of a time crunch and I'm trying
to
avoid having to scratch build my own trans****t layer.  I would be inclined
to use the C interface to D3 to build my own daemon, but after just
checking,
the "cdemo" example can't even be built because there is a missing
library.

Thanks Kevin.
