What is Function.pip

A little background:

I'm trying install Pervasive.SQL 2000i client on a Windows 2000 server. The 
P.SQL 2000i server is running on a Netware 6 server. The Win2K server is 
accessing the Netware server using Native File Access. I have not been able 
to get this to work.

The problem:

I've packet sniffed the attempted connection from my win2k P.SQL client to 
the Netware P.SQL server. It requests \PIPE\BMKDE\FUNCTION.PIP and gets an 
error: No permissions to perform the requested operation. I might be off on 
a wild goose chase but I would like to know what function.pip is. This may 
give me some clue about the cause of my problem.

If you need more information to better answer this let me know.

TIA
