Hi there

I have recently joined the list and have seen some people asking for MSSQL 
ODBC driver implementations. Recent attempts of mine to connect to our 
in-house MS SQL Server 7.0 (recently upgraded from 6.5) from within Linux, 
has failed miserably. I have tried both FreeTDS and the OpenClient 
distributed with Sybase ASE for Linux (this is the glibc one). I have 
tracked down the problem to following statement on MS's site:"Applications 
using SQL Server 7.0 versions of the client software use TDS version 7.0."

the URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/sdkdoc/sql/highprog_1.htm

Does anyone know where to get hold of Version 7.0 of the TDS spec? How does 
this list feel about collaborating with the unixODBC  project to meet 
goals?
