<<You never mentioned what you are using to write your applications, however
if your using Delphi check out SetAsyncMode method in TIBConfigService.>>

I'm using Delphi 7 and FIB components, so I'll use TpFIBConfigService
instead. Assume it's pretty much exactly the same.

Now:
1. How to read the existing AsyncMode so that I can restore it on shutdown
of my app?
2. Will this affect other apps simultaneously hitting the database? IOW,
once I set this value, all apps will use this setting (as it is really a
database server setting, not an application setting) until it's toggled back
on shutdown of my app, right?
