	Has anyone else attempted to port the demos for appexec and oserv
for version 1.8a of the Sybase Open Server onto the DEC RISC Ultrix platform?
	I was able to compile and run appexec.std (for standard character
terminal interface).  I was also able to compile and run oserv.
        However, I wasn't able to duplicate the expected result(s) of
automatic screen updating.  I'm wondering if the following output upon
execution of oserv& might be a clue as to why it's not working the way one
would expect:

csh% oserv&
oserv: hndl_start() error - dbopen() failed, cannot connect to database server

        I've looked at the code in hndl_start.c where this message is
generated from and tried changing the interfaces file, et. al.  I still
can't seem to run the demo and duplicate the results as suggested by the
manual documentation.
	Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
