Subject Re: allowing program to use either gds32.dll or fbclient.dll based on settings
Author russellbelding
IBO treats IB_GDs32 as a constant so I assume you need to solve
this another way. Before connecting to a DB you need to know which of
gds32 or fbclient you will use. You could, messy though it sounds,
write a pre run program to discover which of fbclient or gds32 to use
then call one of your two main programs.
