The looks: Windows 2000, LARGE fonts, high DPI setting.

Fails guaranteed for ALL uncarefully coded Delphi programs.
For each form 'Scaled:=FALSE' is needed.
If they skip that: forget it. This is a known Delphi problem since AGES.

The Firebird: I had Firebird 1.5.2 installed.
1. They installed and checked for version 2.0 of Firebird, so I had to
   de-install my firebird (gds32.dll conflict).
2. They do not allow to set the Firebird port of their installation,
   and that is a major flaw. Because changing the port of the existing
   installation is NOT an option.

O, but I will definitely continue to try it.
Not only for FPC but also for my 'real' job.

If you are in contact with the morfik people, you can tell them of my trouble,
I'll be glad to help them solve it.
