I am trying to figure out how to use the Sybase SQL server v. 4.0 which
was shipped with NeXTStep 1.0.

I want to be able to use the /usr/sybase/isql executable to do
command line creation of DB's and insertions, deletions, updates and
queries.

The problem which I keep encountering is that I get:

next07epsl> isql
Password: 
Operating-system error:
        No such file or directory
DB-Library: Could not open interface file.

when I try to get started.  Futher, I don't have a password.   Do I need  
one?

I am also attempting to usr Sybase across an afs system and unsucessfully
attempted to use a script SetVars in /usr/sybase/scripts to set  
environment varianble across the afs system.

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong ?   Is this just the beginning of  
even more troble?
