Is you use FB1.0, you could by tell by trying to use the services API.
If it fails, then it is Classic.

In FB1.5 the Services API works in Classic too, so this method won't work.

Services API also enables you to retrieve the server version.
Unfortunately, the string does not contain the info you need, it
returns something like: WI-V1.5.2.4731 Firebird 1.5

Perhaps you can make a feature request that CS or SS is added to this
string.
