I am using IB Objects and Delphi 7. Your comment "time and date stamp
might be correct but don't rely on it" helped solve the problem. The
size and timestamp were identical, even the trailing part or the
version number "4481" matched, BUT the first part of the version
number was 6 instead of 1. When I replaced GDS32 everything was fine.

Thanks!
