I think Lester has a very good point here. Provide us with a way to use it the way it works right now (retaining backward functionality). But provide the solutions to this issue as additional features. i.e. (1) Server configuration can specify ExclusiveLockDatabase=yes/no. (2) Provide Alias's for non-path specific connection from clients, (3) etc...

Regards,
Lee Brown

Please make sure changes are not backwards steps. The current setup of IB6
works nicely what ever Windows throws at it. Where as no 5.x version ever
did.
