Please Help: Experiencing trouble setting up SQL Links 3.5 and Informix

Running Win95 and D2 C/S.  I have installed the SQL Link 3.5 driver for
Informix.
I-Connect 7.02 is up and running, as ILogin connects to the stores
database.
I have created an alias form the Informix database, yet when I attempt to
connect,
I get an error message of:

Database Engine Error
Cannot load an IDAPI service library.  File:
SQLINF32.DLL.  Alias: wprl

On requesting further details, the following is obtained:
BDE Error: 8485     [$21][$A1]

I would appreciate any help that I can get, as this is now reaching
critical stages.

Check your informix dll, $informixdir/bin/isqlt07x.dll.  It should be version c
(isqlt07c.dll) not version b (isqlt07b.dll).  SQLLinks will not work with version b.

I spent several months trying to track that one down.  Finally, I called the SQLLinks
connectivity line at Borland.  Then wanted to charge me $150 bucks for that little
piece of knowledge!!  They said it was an Informix problem.  Their product is
advertised to work with Informix 7.2, dll versions not withstanding.  Basically, I told
them that there was no way I'd pay them $150 to tell me that their product didn't work
as advertised.  And that was that.

Anyway, now that I'm off my soapbox, I hope that helps :-)
