I've tried it, but it's too beta.
Eg. the DBEdit component doesn't change the field.
The DBGrid ( very big ! ) won't let you select a cell.
And don't try to fill in a table name if DB2/2 isn't started, it will sort of
crash Warp.
The lack of helpfiles is serious too. With Delphi you close a windows with
a simple Close; Sibyl wants a least 1 parameter. But which one?? And why?

The autors should check out CodeBase. This will give them the abbility to
add dBase, FoxPro and Paradox tables.

I will wait for the next version, this one has little use for me. I've
programmed Delphi too much and notice the differences.

Ps.
I don't want to smash Sibyl down, it's a good try.

Toedeloe,
Jorgen de Gier
