Thanks Dave.
Will update ASAP.

I agree with you on the multi-threaded. I think I will add a note
saying the the multi-threaded architecture is only advantageous on Windows.
I have seen instances where the threaded version of Firebird completely
craps out because one of the threads has issues.

Will also make a note that it can run on FAT32 with some limitations.

Later,
