Hi Adam,

Client was a poor choice of words. I have a customer which is a small
company with limited network resources. Therefore, the Firebird
database server will also be used as a workstation. Hense, on that
machine, he'll be running the Firebird v1.5.2 Server and the Interbase
v7.1 client. On other workstations, they'll run both the Firebird and
Interbase client software.
