"I want to replicate, at the most basic level, the opening transmission that
a SQL Server service makes.  I am trying to create a simple "the server is
up" app, something beyond just connecting to the service port."

Welcome, Steve.

I'm not sure I understand what you want to do.  

If you want to "create a simple ... app" to test the presence of a working
server, you could look at src/dblib/unittests/t0001.c.  It logs in and
exchanges data with the server.  

If you want "replicate ... the opening transmission that a SQL Server
service makes", that sounds like you want to mimic the server.  I haven't
played with that, but I think srr/server would get you going.  

HTH.
