are you aware of Yahoo list here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/firebird-support/?yguid=206844234
That list is archived in NG server here:
news.atkin.com
I assume you have firebird's homepage here (lost of info/links):
http://www.firebirdsql.org/
.... and a documentation index on that site here:
http://www.firebirdsql.org/?op=doc
and IBPhoenix:
http://www.ibphoenix.com/
By far IMO, best single reference is Hellen Borrie's book:
http://www.firebird-books.net/index.php
.... also now availble as ebook. Highly recommended!!!

there's an embedded folder in that distro: release notes.txt pretty
much covers it... there's not a lot different. Connection is more
restrictive, and embedded has no Security DB.
I've used it a lot, and it's flawless... fast, lean, dependable.

I'm not Nexus user, but it's not complicated: just include
fbembed.dll/fbconfig in program dir.

somebody posted a component to embed FB dll in an exe here recently.
hmmm... apparently I didn't bookmark it. Maybe someone else here
has it and/or tried it.
I'd also recommend checking out...
- http://metadataforge.com/
SQLHammer (IB/FB admin tool... really slick)
- http://www.progdigy.com/
UIB (fastest IB/FB connection components on Earth. Really nice
w/kbmMW).
For me, only downside is lack of encryption.
