Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Interbase 6.1. But when I
moved an IB 6.0 application to Firebird 1.5, I only needed to do two
changes:

1) Backup the database in Interbase and restore it in Firebird.

2) Update the setup program to install Firebird rather than Interbase.

Everything else remained the same, including stored procedures and
triggers and views. Even the custom UDF I use didn't require any update
(not even a recompile!)

I am told Firebird 1.0 is even closer to Interbase 6.0.

Hope it helps.
