Ok, I am now able to connect using isql. I had to look up some command
line options and specify a user name and password. After that I was able
to connect to my db.

Now I am specifying the same in my C app, just like in an example in the
pdf docs. pg 48-49 of the ApiGuide.pdf
With the exception that I have entered the user name and password. The
example gets them from command line by requesting it.

Now I have found the problem. The book pdf says to use

isc_num_buffers

Which when I attempt to compile it did not like it. So I commented it
and it's value out.

When I went back to reference the dock I saw that it should have been

isc_dpb_num_buffers

So when I uncommented it and changed it to that, it worked perfectly. :)

Now I can get data to and from my DB from my C apps. Yeah. :)
