Using the DSEDIT utility

The DSEDIT utility is an Open Client utility that allows you to configure the
interfaces file (sql.ini or interfaces). The following sections explain how to use
the DSEDIT utility to configure the interfaces file. You must be the owner of
the Sybase home directory ($SYBASE on UNIX or %SYBASE% on Windows

These sections describe how to use DSEDIT for those tasks required for
Adaptive Server IQ. It is not complete documentation for the DSEDIT utility.
For more information on DSEDIT, see the Utility Programs book for your
platform, included with other Sybase products.

Explorer

When you start DSEDIT, the Select Directory Service window appears.
