I want to make sure the client libraries of IB and FB can operate
indepentant of each other and not conflict. I read somewhere that
certain dll's of FB had not changed names after the split from IB
even though the core had been modified. This would suggest that which
ever client is installed last will overwrite the previous and that
connection. This may be fixed with the current release.

Since you are using AVG can you tell me whether the version of IB it
uses will cause such problems? I read the docs and it mentions
embedded FB. I don't know enough about all the options and versions
to guess which release that would be.

Thanx again,
