I do have an IBO version about to be released with this fixed in a way that
will allow your newly compiled IBO apps to work with the server corrected.

I would like to encourage everyone to please upgrade your IBO applications
with new code when I make this release so that we can allow Firebird to
operate correctly. IBO was perhaps the only toolset that actually took this
weird parameter ordering into consideration. I think it best that we get to
where this whole weird this is in the past and we no longer worry about old
parameter ordering.

I will be sending out upgrade notices to all who have purchased IBO in the
past that are due to renew as soon as the new release is available.

Kind regards,
