Jim you're a little confused.
There exists SQLSPX for DOS(I believe SQLSPX.EXE and SQLSPX.PXE). This driver
may require SQLPME, check the User's Guide.
There also exists SQLSPX for Windows implemented as DLLs(SQLSPX.DLL and
SQLSPX1.DLL, I believe). This driver doesn't need SQLPME. These drivers and
similar ones for TCP,Named Pipes, etc. are used by _ANY_ Oracle Client/Server
(Windows/Dos where applicable)app, not just CDE and not just Microsoft apps.
And, of course, you don't always need ODBC... You do need the ODBC driver if
you want to use ODBC(it's yet another layer)...
