Hi:

I recently posted a request for help on Sybase and have gotten a litte  
further, but I am still in trouble.

1) The Sybase that I am using is version 4.0.2 shipped with NeXTStep 2.x  
as /NextLibrary/Packages/ThirdParty.orig/Sybase_DB-Library.pkg, not with  
1.0 as I earlier reported.

2) Upon my efforts and upon review of Doug Clapp's "The NeXT Bible", I  
have noticed that the "Sybase" which was shipped with NeXTStep v 1.0 was  
Sybase v. 4.0.  However, version 4.0 of "Sybase" has files that version  
4.0.2 does not.  Version 4.0.2 looks like:

next12csc> pwd
/afs/.Automount/nd.edu/next_mach30/usr/sybase
next12csc> ls -l
total 23
drwxr-xr-x  2 sybase      2048 Oct 12  1990 bin/
drwxrwxrwx  2 sybase      2048 Oct 10  1990 database/
drwxr-xr-x  3 sybase      6144 Oct 12  1990 doc/
drwxr-xr-x  2 sybase      2048 Oct 12  1990 include/
drwxr-xr-x  3 sybase      2048 Oct 12  1990 install/
-rw-rw-rw-  1 sybase       545 Jan  3  1990 interfaces
drwxr-xr-x  2 sybase      2048 Nov 13 14:46 lib/
drwxr-xr-x  2 sybase      2048 Oct 12  1990 msgs/
drwxr-xr-x  3 sybase      2048 Oct 12  1990 sample/
drwxr-xr-x  2 sybase      2048 Oct 12  1990 scripts/

It does not however have any of the executatbles in /usr/sybase/intall
that v. 4.0 does such as intallserver and startserver.  Moreover the
"samples" in .../sample which rely upon things in .../install that aren't  
there.

My questions are:

A)  Is the "Sybase" 4.0.2 the whole enchilata or some subpart that does
not include SQL Server but only DB-Library ?

B)  What is an SQL "server" anyway ? 

C)  Assuming that you do not have write permission to /usr/sybase and wish  
to keep your own personal interfaces file in your home directory, what do  
you need to have in this file and how do you set the enviroment variables  
etc. so you don't get:

Operating-system error:
        Connection refused
DB-Library: Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does not  
exist.
