+    The MSSQL extension is available on Win32 systems only. You can
+    use the Sybase extension to connect to MSSQL databases from 
+    other platforms.
+   </simpara>
+   <simpara>
+    These functions allow you to access MS SQL Server database.
+    The extension requires the MS SQL Client Tools to be installed
+    on the system where PHP is installed. The Client Tools can
+    be installed from the MS SQL Server CD or by copying ntwdblib.dll
+    from \winnt\system32 on the serber to \winnt\system32 on the PHP box.
+    Copying ntwdblib.dll will only provide access. Configuration of the client
+    will require installation of all the tools.
+   </simpara>
+   <simpara>
+    The MSSQL extension is enabled by adding extension=php_mssql.dll to php.ini.
