In addition to what David Cornelius said, if you want to use Marathon, you
probably need to include a version of fbclient.dll named gds32.dll, and
have it installed to your system directory. For this you need the utility
instclient.exe and the notes for it in the /doc directory, named
README.Win32LibraryInstallation.txt

Once you have installed, the Quick Start Guide from the IBPhoenix Main
Downloads page should help. It's still for Fb 1.0.x but there should be
enough there for you once you get past the installation stage and get your
client in sync with any tools you are using.
