I grabbed `current' today, which may be the same thing, and with unixODBC 
2.2.3 it worked perfectly as far as unixODBC talking to SQL Server 7.

I still haven't got MS-Access to acknowledge the unixODBC driver though. I've 
added the registry keys to WINE to tell it that a driver exists for the ODBC 
connection but it still seems to be trying to use the Windows ODBC drivers 
instead. Perhaps it knows too much. I might see if rearranging WINE's DLL 
useage is of any avail tomorrow. Either way, FreeTDS doesn't seem to be a 
part of the problem any more.

tsql needs to exit on EOF as well as on magic words, else (I haven't tried 
this, I'm interpreting the code) it will spinlock on EOF.
