Brian & Bob,

Thanks for the faq feedback; happy to oblige.  I think it's better, now, too.

I also added http://www.freetds.org/faq.html#19.

I removed the comment.  You're right, we should say what we mean, if we know 
what that
is. :)  Do you still think 4.2 is "more stable" than 7.0 connecting to a 
7.0-capable
server?  Anyway, that should be in UG, yes?

Don't know enough to do this, but would of course be happy to add someone 
else's
write-up, in my usual editorly way.

Thanks, Bob.  I converted you doc to html (with my own perl script.  What's 
the right
way?).  Breaking with tradition, I moved it to its own document, because it's 
so
big/thorough it would have made navigating the FAQ harder.
