I don't think we are referring to the console tool, I know I'm not. I use
QuickDesk and will start installing IB_SQL with FB 1.0 on my client's
systems.

The server manager that we are referring to is to manage how Firebird is
run on the server. I know it's an interface that let's me change if the
Startup Mode is Automatic or Manual and being able to Start or Stop the
Firebird Server. I know I can set this in the Services interface of
Windows 2000 and also stop and start the service as required via the same
method. But, if I want to switch how the server is run: i.e. from being a
service to just being a standalone application. This is also a
functionality of the Server Manager and how can it be done now, if it's
still possible. Probably it was distributed with IB 6 and some of us still
have a left-over from those installations.
