I got my cube from businessland, with OS1.0 installed on the HD. No
media from which to reinstall it. VERY little documentation. this
Sybase SQL server sounds like something interesting, but in my efforts
to get it working I have the feeling I'm playing zork.

(a) How do I get the server started, and once started, how do I
interact with it?

(b) In general, where is there any information about the interface
between SQL and the system?

(c) What's the chance that if I figure out how to use this thing, I'll
still be able to get something out of it when my 2.0 upgrade arrives?
I've heard (and contributed to) lots of discussion about the status of
lisp under 2.0, but I've seen very little little mention of the fate
of Sybase under tha new system (which doesn't bundle either, I
gather).
