Isn't "commercial" software just software that somebody *pays* for rather
than write themselves?
In which case, ListFilter would be commercial and Popup Gorilla is not
commercial. That is, some form of "commerce" (value exchange) must be
involved.

Eu doesn't support record locking, for example. Nor, for that matter,
does it actually have 'records'. Neither does it have networking
capabilities.
Sure, there are libraries with varing degrees of completeness, and
you can always do as RDS suggests and write your own, but if I am
writing software for money, it's more productive to use something
like VB or Delphi or even FileMaker, which come with those things
(and much more) built in.

As far as I'm aware VB comes with file locking built in.
I don't have a copy of Delphi anymore but I'd be surprised if a
locking feature didn't come with the package. The developer might
have to "include" something ... but this "something" would come with
the base Delphi package.
