If I remember correctly, in SQL 6.5 you couldn't copy data directly from a query with bcp as you can in SQL 2000. You need to use either a view or a temporary table to store the desired recordset.

bcp ##temp_authors out temp_authors.txt -c -Sservername -Usa -Ppassword

Look at the arguments for bcp in BOL, to determine the best way to delimit the columns. Excel should have not problems reading a CSV file.
