Yes, you'll need the more recent version of msvcrt.dll and also
msvcp60.dll, that you will find in the Firebird \bin directory. You can
try copying them directly to the c:\winnt\system32 directory; however, if
some other app has already loaded one (or both) you won't be able to
overwrite and will need to boot up the system in safe mode (F8 at the NT
launcher).

Yep, but Fb 0.9 goes back some years...this is a whole different codebase,
in C++.
