Forgot to mention: this is a Windows-only tool!

The project is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ibfbcoex/

But Brenden hasn't committed the latest (greatly improved) version
yet. If you want I can mail it to you; it's a 186 Kb zip, without
source code. The version that's currently on SF has several problems.

Provisory documentation on how to set things up is at
http://vinkenoog.nl/firebird/ibfbcoex/

In your case, you should read "Firebird 1.03" wherever it says
"InterBase".

Please report back if you get stuck.
