This package contains a zipped version of PEEKNMP.COM, a patch file
which fixes certain NAMED PIPES problems when using Microsoft products
in a Winos2 session under OS2.  I am in a netware environment, but 
this problem may occur in other Lan environments.

I have also included PEEKNMP.TXT, a text file which explains how to
use this patch file to enable MS-Access to talk to a SQL Server
using ODBC and Named Pipes in a WINOS2 session.

The problem/solutions are not specific to MS-Access, but may solve
other Named pipe/winos2 problems, especially those involving Microsoft
products that use named pipes.
