All,

I'm working on the documentation quite a bit this week.  I think a reasonable 
first
draft  (or is that second draft, Brian?) will be ready by Monday.

If anyone else is writing anything for the UG at the moment, please let me 
know so we
can coordinate our work.  Also, I'm looking for information on (or at least 
names
of) ODBC bridge products.  Don't know beans about them.

The drafting is done in DocBook sgml, but I'm "compiling" it to html for 
reviewing.
Anyone who's interested can find my "latest build" of the user guide at

http://www.schemamania.org/freetds/html/book1.htm.

I just got caught up reading the list.  Timestamps, text fields, truncated 
numerics
(ouch!).  Very hard to sort out what's fixed and what's pending.  Makes me 
think
there's a missing section: "Known bugs and limitations".

And, Bob, thanks for the dates.
