What *should* work is to move the fbclient.dll and gds32.dll from the
system directory to the \bin directory of Firebird15 and to retrieve your
backup copy of FB 1.0.x gds32.dll and move it to the \bin directory of
Firebird (1.0.x). That is, have NO gds32.dll in your System directory at all.
Another way to do it, which will work with IBO but not for most tools, is
to leave the two gds32.dll files in your system directory but to rename
one, e.g. rename the Fb 1.0.x one to 'fb1_gds32.dll'.
Then grab a little unit that lives in your IBO root directory, named
IB_Session511.pas. Edit as a text file and do exactly two changes:
1) change the unit declaration to the name you are going to use for the
unit, e.g. IB_Session_fb10, if you are going to save the unit as
IB_Session_fb10.pas
2) change the string in the initialization section to the new name of your
gds32.dll file for FB 1.0.x, e.g. 'fb1_gds32.dll'.
Save this little unit back into your IBO root dir as IB_Session_fb10.pas.
Now, open your client project and go to the DPR file. In the uses clause
in the interface section, add IB_Session_fb10.pas as the *first* unit in
the list. Save all. Recompile. You're done.
If you want to make "versions" of IB_SQL and IBOConsole you can use this
same unit with both of these projects to build server-specific versions of
these tools. The source for the IB_SQL project is also in your IBO
root; and you can get the IBOConsole sources from
http://www.mengoni.it/downloads.html
