I'm don't know. I'm hoping to find out! :) One possibility is that it
provides a growth path for seamlessly distributing data 'packages' (eg
SQLite database files) across many usage scenarios (single user/local,
multi-user server, multiple OS's).

I'm assuming there is some rational reason that the RealBasic company
purchased the SQLabs.net version of this product?
