No - I think we may still need to discuss precisely what the string should be.
The above was just floated as an idea. Feedback is welcome. Essentially the
format is HKLM\SOFTWARE\VendorName\Product\ which I believe the above string
largely fulfills. It allows the Firebird project to release other
applications. Perhaps the big question, for the project itself to decide, is
whether the vendor name should be FirebirdSQL or something else.

But for now it is academic. The Borland\InterBase string is the one that is
used internally in Fb 1.0.
