It is even better - installer asks if I want to generate such a
"legacy" client DLL. And it generates such a DLL during install,
but...

It seams that IBX / Delphi IDE is not using the main version number.
Because the generated DLL has version number changed only in the 'main
version no' field, the DLL is not correct for IBX. Please remember
that there are 2 more version numbers (file version number and I think
product version no) which have 1.5.xxx values assigned in the "legacy
DLL" - but this is not important for IBX issue.

I have verified the IBX sources - it looks like
'isc_get_client_version' DLL function is used to obtain version no.
from client DLL, so it looks like simple 'replace-on-fly' will not
work.

Any ideas? Can I use old(RC6) gds32 with the new FB 1.5 RC8 server?
