There is a difference of configuration. *IF* IB 6 supports the
external_function_directory paramter, you need to have an entry like

external_function_directory "c:\Progra~1\InterBase\udf" pointing to
wherever you have udf libraries. NOTICE THE DOUBLE-QUOTES.

If you have them in more than one place, you need one complete
external_function_directory entry for each location.

You'll have to restart the server after configuring.

If IB 6 doesn't recognise it, then you are back to the old rigmarole of
trying it with copies in "likely" places - the system directory, the IB
/bin directory, and so on. Or you could try adding the location to the
system path.
