## SUMMARY

You may need to install TBMI2.COM if the following statements are true:

- You are using an Alpha-based or MIPS-based computer.
  -and-
- You are using the 16-bit Windows client software for SQL Server for Windows NT.
  -and-
- You are using IPX/SPX as the network protocol.

## MORE INFORMATION

TBMI2.COM was developed by Novell to allow IPX/SPX protocol applications to task switch in standard mode Windows. If you are using the 16-bit Windows client software for SQL Server for Windows NT and are using IPX/SPX as the network protocol, the TBMI2.COM must be loaded from the AUTOEXEC.NT file. This is because Windows NT on Alpha-based and MIPS-based computers emulates standard mode Windows.
After you install the program in the AUTOEXEC.NT file, restart the computer to update the Win16 on Win32 (WOW) subsystem.
TBMI2.COM is manufactured by the Novell Corporation, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
