Brian,

I successfully compiled 0.46pre2 freetds version 4.2 against MS SQL 7 even 
after hacking configure, configure.in, src/tds/login.c, src/tds/numeric.c, 
src/tds/read.c to force BIG endianess upon everything for my PowerPC linux 
and it 'mostly' works. It still doesnt like floats much and only returns 
integers, and sometimes fields dissappear and/or return garbage in a random 
fashion.

<BEG TYPE=GROVEL>Could you please spend some time on Endianess for us BIG 
second cousins</BEG>. If you cannot I will come up with a patch, 
eventually, but as I have had no experience or training in C this may take 
years :-(

REGARDS
