There's no official client-only installation package. Maybe someone
has built one, but I don't know. You normally use the same
installation program (Firebird-1.0.2.908-Win32.exe) and choose for
"client only" or "client with tools" instead of server installation.

A client is not bound to a specific server. Any client can connect to
any server, as long as that server is reachable from the client
computer. Your software has to specify what server to connect to.
