Hi, I know Craig already mentioned some stuff.  The documentation
currently assumes you know how to program dblib or ctlib...we should fix
this when the libraries are a little more robust.  For some basic
documentation check out sybooks.sybase.com under Open Client/Server i
think... It should give you the basics.
