They are both client tools.
bcp just needs bcp.exe but needs to connect to sql server.
dts isn't really anything to do with sql server - just is distributed with it and can connect to it. Think of it as similar to an application language like VB or c#.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Nope - dts has lots of tasks available. Open it and look at the task list.
Why are you asking?

http://sqldts.com is a good source for all things DTS. That will give you some idea of what you can do with dts.

there is also a great DTS reference book here http://sqlteam.com/store.asp. I would recommend getting that book if you are going to be doing any serious DTS work.
