Just the same as from a Linux application, except that your Win32
application uses the Windows version of the client (fbclient.dll, which can
be installed as gds32.dll if required for compatibility).

To install the client, you need the Win32 installer for the same server
version, but select "Client-only".

The connection string mylinux:/data/mydb.fdb will find the database
(assuming the server's hostname is mylinux and the database is in
/data/mydb.fdb).
