True, but with the exception of a few possible minor issues, their IB6
_databases_ should work with your FB server. So if they are willing to
uninstall IB6 and install FB and test their dbs, that might be the quickest
and easiest option.

Of course you also use FB 1.5 which has a number of options for running
concurrently with other IB and FB versions
