The embedded server is a DLL that is almost the same as FBServer.exe.
The only differences are:
- The embedded server is for single-user applications.
- Since the embedded server is a DLL, your application loads the DLL
when it needs it and unloads it when it's done with it. So, there's
no application running other than your application with its
libraries.

Release Candidate.

Yes it does, since the embedded server is a DLL that your application
loads when it needs it and unloads it when no longer needed.
