I just have not had time to try the new builds yet - I'm
happy with the version I am using, and up-issuing is a major
exercise.
When I get some spare time I'll check out.

I KNOW that the problem here will be that the default
Include or Library path will have been changed ( because of
the IDE bug! ) just can't check at moment.

Good, once you understand how things tick on YOUR setup it's
not too bad. Ive got Builder3, 4 & 5 and Kylix all up in
parallel. Need I say more.

On updating Firebird - I think I'll follow Jason's example
and wait for the file lock niggle to be fixed - FB1 will be
my standard system, the Beta has proven VERY stable to date.
