Need to Connect to SQL Server via TCP - Resources?

I need to create my own SQL Client and am looking for resources on the
protocol used to communicate to the Server via port 1433.
Any info would be helpful...
Thank you,
Scott<-Hi
SQL Server uses TDS (Tabular Data Stream). The on-the-wire protocol details
are available to 3rd party vendors, but there is no public documentation of
it.
