        Thanks for your thorough inverstigation, but the question was just
what the version is. I found out by myself that TDS 5.0 does not work with
MSSQL.
        Is anyone working on autoconf for tds? Can I start doing it? If
so, I'll need support from Solaris guys, I have only Linuxes around 
here...

Best wishes,
