Thanks again! I once had Delphi 4 and can find everything but the installation disc :-(
I'll keep an eye out for an old version - I don't have any prospect of more than personal use for it.

Thank you, Ralf! Now I will have to explore becoming a Delphi developer... Where there's will, there's a way ;-). What version of Delphi would be needed (preferably cheap)?
DISQLite3 and extensions compile with any version of Delphi, starting with Delphi 4 (see compilers in the top-left box of the DISQLite3 website at http://www.yunqa.de/delphi/doku.php/products/sqlite3/index. So which to choose? Delphi 7 is known for its stability, Delphi 2007 is the latest non-Unicode version. Both are outdated today, but still popular. The current Delphi is now called Delphi XE. It features defaults all strings to Unicode, at the cost of slightly larger binaries. However, you do not need a Unicode Delphi to handle Unicode text with DISQLite3, old WideStrings work just as well. As said, any version starting with Delphi 4 will do, so pick whatever you can get your hands on.
