Hello Peter,

this is a private message since it is rather OT for the list.

I am interested in running Firebird embedded, so probably your problems
are my problems too. It looks like there is not many people developing
such a software.

I have developed a program that seems to work well under OS X. Nobody
reported problems about security2.fdb.

If you are interested you can look at the OS X bundle and check if it
causes problems:

http://vvvapp.sourceforge.net/

I have ended up with that structure for the bundle and it seems to work
well. I have also modified firebird.conf.

I used wxWidgets, but I don't think that using QT should require a
different bundle layout.

What library did you use to access Firebird? I used IBPP.

Fulvio
