   Nick, it might be worth your while to take a look at using SQLite for the DB   
   stuff that TurboPower handled (I do wish someone would have ported the Object   
   Professional code by now - it's awesome.) - here's an example:   
   http://wiki.freepascal.org/SQLite. I think the code may be a bit   
   Lazarus-centric, but it should work similarly for FPC itself.
