Ok I started looking through the convert.c source code and in the function

tds_convert(..) there is a big switch statement switch(srctype). This is 
getting a value of 104 for the BIT datatype. Unfortunately 104 is not 
defined in tds.h as a valid type and therefore no conversion takes place.

There is a type called SYBBIT (type 50) and there is a function 
called  tds_convert_bit. If the sybase bit fields are the same as ms-sql 
bit fields then this is an easy fix (add the type MSSQLBIT and call the 
same conversion function) if not then a new function will obviously need to 
be written.

If these are bitmasks how would you know which bit was the on you are after??

Either way this is just from looking at a couple of files so I am sure 
there are serious consequences to anything I might attempt with my feeble 
understanding. Just thought I might throw in my two cents.
