Steve, can you give me some more details on this?  I created a table with 
a text column and filled it with about a 5k entry and then selected it 
back using sqsh 2.1 and it worked flawlessly.  I'm using SQL Server 7.0 
GA on Win2k SP2.  FreeTDS is configured with tds version = 7.0 in the 
freetds.conf file.
