gds32.dll is the client portion of the Firebird code. It handles certain
local functions (e.g. date conversions) and communicates with the server
which is a process called ibserver. Date operations (select, insert, update,
delete) are all handled by ibserver.

I'm sure that IBO offers something like the ISQL show version that will
print version information from each of the subsystems that are involved
in connecting from client program to database.
