Thanks...I used the embedded version of Firebird to make my application easier to deploy (users have just to expand a zipped file which contains the correct folders and files needed, without having to install Firebird). On Firebird download page there are only Classic/SuperServer versions for Mac OS X. Can these be used to work in standalone mode ?

I need some sort of "step by step" guide, starting with the files that must be downloaded and installed...any help ?
