It is a variable indeed.

It is used with LoadLibrary. ;-)

The problem is not IBO. IBO could become more flexible (i.e. allow
you to load two libraries at the same time), but apart from that you
can do all you need already.

The problem is that IBOConsole, IBOAdmin and InterXpress need to give
you a way to set that variable from the outside (f. ex. with a
parameter - in the case of the dbX driver - or with a configuration
file setting). The authors could give you the option *now*, no need to
change anything in IBO. Summary: bug the authors of those tools - you
are barking up the wrong tree here. :-)

Ciao
