If you want the complete sources (not that many files, but more than two,
you can download the current stable release version from:  


	http://www.freetds.org/

(http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/stable/freetds-stable.tgz).  

To get the two files you need from CVS, also on the main page you'll find
a link to "Browse CVS".  If you follow that, three or four clicks  will
take you to osql revision 1.7 (
http://freetds.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freetds/freetds/src/apps/osql?revision=1.7&view=markup).
 Navigate similarly to the doc directory for the man page text.

You might have an old version, or it might not be installed, or not
installed in the right place.  No matter.  Run the osql script, see if it
helps, and let us know.  Also read up in the manual for the TDSDUMP and
TDSDUMPCONFIG variables; they can help troubleshoot connection problems.

No matter.  Everyone starts somewhere.  It gets better with time.  :-)
