Options for MS-DOS - based Clients

You create the root directories for MS-DOS - based clients. The preferred SQL Server root directory is C:\SQL60, although you can specify a different directory. Under the SQL Server root directory, create the \BIN subdirectory. In this directory, place the MS-DOS - based client executable files.

The MS-DOS - based client software provides these client utilities:

• bcp
• isql

Three TSRs can be used to communicate with the underlying network layer:

• Named Pipes (DBNMPIPE.EXE)
• Novell SPX (DBMSSPX.EXE)
• Banyan VINES (DBMSVINE.EXE)

For information on these Net-Libraries, see the Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Companion.
