[Firebird-docs] FB docs. Where to get them ?.

[Klerman G. <kl...@ho...>]

Hello,

I just downloaded and installed FB for Win32, and I suppose its working
well, as I could start the service.
I went to the \docs folder, and there are some "ChangeLog.txt",
"InstallNotes.txt" and "WhatsNew.txt" files, while in the \help folder
there's a "help.fdb" file.
The www.ibphoenix.com/downloads/60all.zip hiperlink always returns a "server
not found" error.
Where can I get the FB manuals to start knowing it ?. I have the idea to
test it as a database server for MSAccess applications.

TVMIA,
Klerman

There was a problem with ibphoenix.com but they are back up now.
While you're there, also get the Firebird Quick Start Guide.

But:

What do you mean by that? For all I know, MSAccess applications don't
know how to talk to an Interbase/Firebird database server.

Wouldn't you rather write Firebird applications? :-)
