I only read your message today. Days ago, I made them return ISC_STATUS.
Really, it was an interface problem. The functions work with ISC_STATUS
internally. It returns
status[1] as usual with ISC_STATUS* status. I'm not sure if the change is
already in CVS or it's still in my pending commit.

In your original design, was there something like db-specific accounts?
Apparently, you defaulted to operating system security only.
Those functions are marked as deprecated by Borland. They recommend using
the Services API that has SPB's, that are the equivalent of DPB's.
