I think they should just throw/set an error code. Nothing visual (including xharbour alert messages). Let the user do as he will with the error code.
In Linux the counterpart of ace32.dll is a shared library *.so. They work in the very same manner. Although I don't think there is many people building client apps for linux and rather Linux is mostly being used as an ADS server (as I am doing), we should keep in mind the need to build something that will work for ace32.dll as well as ace.so.
