+SHORT="C++ classes to access and administer a Firebird database"
+cat << EOF
+IBPP, where 'PP' stands for '++', is a C++ client interface for
+Firebird Server versions 1.0, 1.5 and further. It also works with
+InterBaseŽ 6.0, though it is expected it might only support Firebird
+in the future. It is a class library, free of any specific
+development tool dependancies. It is not tied to any 'visual' or
+'RAD' tool. It was indeed developed to add Firebird access in any
+C++ application. Those applications using IBPP can be non-visual
+(CORBA/COM objects, other libraries of classes and functions,
+procedural 'legacy' code, for instance). But it can of course also
+be used in visual or RAD environments. IBPP is indeed purely a
+dynamic SQL interface to Firebird. In some easy (we think so :-) to
+use C++ classes, you will find nearly all what is needed to access a
+Firebird database, and manipulate the data. IBPP also offers access
+to most of the administrations tasks : creating a database,
+modifying its structure, performing online backups, administering
+user accounts on the server and so on.
