Be the same as what? An aardvark?
If by this you mean - shouldn't the Firebird 2.01 Windows InterClient.jar be
the same size as the Linux.jar then not necessarily.
1. I didn't obsfucate the packages - as there is no need.
2. I compiled it using JDK 1.3 Enterprise Edition. Not strictly necessary,
but since I was already using it, I didn't see any point in changing it.

? - Maybe I am missing something here - but a .jar file is java and should
be cross platform.
What isn't cross platform is the interserver piece, as thats written in
C/C++ and needs to be compiled specifically for each platform.
Also the behaviour of interserver is different on Windows, to Unix, on unix
it uses inetd to fork new processes whilst on Windows it effectively spawns
another process on connection.

All this is saying is that the interclient.jar file you are using hasn't got
the same version number as the interserver you are connecting to. When you
create an interclient.jar file and interserver you make sure that they both
reflect the same internal version number, that way you guarentee
compatibility between the two.
