I've been trying to get SQLServer to run locally from a WINOS2/DOS session with 
no success.

I just got a bulletin from Microsoft claiming (justifiably) that their SQLServer
won't talk to WINOS2/DOS sessions on the same machine (local named pipes). 
They claim:
	Due to a bug in the OS/2 2.0 named pipes implementation, no
	support is available for client applications running in the virtual
	MS-DOS and Windows sessions running on OS/2 2.0.  This bug also
	prevents SQL Administrator from running on OS/2 2.0.

I am aware that network named pipes are not supported from the WINOS2/DOS,
but find nothing about local named pipes being busted.  Does anybody have any
background on this, like, Is it true?  If so, will it be fixed?
