Classic doesn't support the "Services API" - which, apparently, is
what IBOConsole uses.

Some version ( I don't know which one exactly ) of Firebird Classic
supports a limited subset of the Services API, so that's no guarantee
if IBOConsole works with that version of Firebird.

You're up to the command line tools, a tool that doesn't use the
Services API or a tool that DOES use the Services API, except
with Classic -> Database Workbench, for example :-)

With regards,
