I'm kind of new to this stuff. Can you tell me specifically what I'm
looking for or maybe a little example code?

I simply want a way to determine if IBServer is running on a WinNT or Novell
server.

Basically when my app starts up, I receive several error messages and access
violations if the IBServer is not running and I simply want a graceful way
to terminate my app without all these errors and AV's

Any additional help welcomed.

Thanks

Mike
