> How would "supporting" IBAccess address the FB/IB fork?

At this point firebird and interbase are very compatible, in the API and
administration tools and services (gbak, gfix...).

In next releases if a option is added to a
service or a command line tool, IBAccess should check engine version and
enable disable this options, ibx may need modifications also to pass new
options
to the firebird/interbase engine.
If the firebird team add important engine functionality like active query
processing list, stop a selected query..., then this options may only
enabled/added for this fork.

I think IBAccess is easy to mantain and easy to expand with new features.
