Agree; but what if your client doesn't know about dialects; or sends
"wrong" stuff to the database because it doesn't know about the behaviour
of ODS 10+ date/time and numeric types. Me, I'm a born sceptic. As much
as I know about InterClient 2 is this: it was so awful that a group of
clever people went to a lot of trouble to rewrite it totally, using a clean
slate.

Now, getting from there to page errors: no, there is no obvious correlation.
