OK, but it was not necessary to convert all string definitions to
AnsiString. A lot of thinks do not need any changes.

I updated IBO Admin, so that it will work with 4.9.3.

And I found an error in loading the client dll.

Please change following in IB_Session:

Line 808:
IB_GetClientLibNameFunc: function: string;

Line 918:
function OpenClientLibrary(libname: string): boolean;
begin
FGDS_Handle := SafeLoadLibrary(libname);
Result := (FGDS_Handle >= 32);
end;


and in AcquireOriginalHooks:

tmpname: string;
begin
if FGDS_Handle < 32 then
begin
tmpname := '';
if Assigned(IB_GetClientLibNameFunc) then
tmpname := IB_GetClientLibNameFunc;
if Length(tmpname) > 0 then
begin
if not OpenClientLibrary(tmpname) then
Exit;
end
else if not OpenClientLibrary(IBO_FBCLIENT_DLL) then
if not OpenClientLibrary(IBO_GDS32) then
Exit;
end;


@Jason: include this fix in the next versions. Maybe they must be
differnent for different delphi versions.


In original 4.9.3 I was not able to load the client libs from a fully
defined path.
