Ok. For some reason Borland mangled their our tool names. IB4 & IB5's Server
Manager is gone. We got IBConsole (and a carnival of bugs that render the
tool more dangerous than a mined field). The thing you refer is InterBase
Service Manager, but was labelled incorrectly IB Server Manager and confused
half of the IB5 developers. That's a Delphi application (as if it's not
enough with VC++, Cygwin, BCB and other dev tools) and the source wasn't
opened. A person was doing it from scratch for Firebird, but didn't have
time to finish it for v1 release.
