Okay, lets not get technical, the IBO code does the proper massaging 
of the data, to make it usable, because it works if I use the  FB 
server on the Windows95 machine.  When I use the FB server on the 
OpenLinux machine, the isc_info_end value is never found.  So there 
is obviously something that is not happening here.  My guess is that 
the Linux binaries are built with a compile time library that isn't 
completely compatable with the run time library on my OpenLinux 
machine.  At least I hope this is the problem.....

What I really wonder is what gds32.dll sends to the server, and what 
the server sends back?
