Hi,
Although I think having the convenience of a jdbc driver coming with
firebird is a theoretically a good idea, I don't really think interclient
is all that suitable. I do think we (probably me) should get a binary
version on the firebird web site. I can do this for linux, maybe if i do
someone will compile for windows?
