Hi Bill et al., I just tested freebcp for the first time and it seems to
work splendidly so far!

I have a few problems getting it going, however.

1) I wasn't able to get it do anything besides print the usage info at
first.  I didn't see any examples so I didn't know why it wasn't
working.  I went into the code and added a bunch of error messages that
indicate *why* it just returns with the usage information.  Diff -c
attached.  Please apply it if you like it.

2) It appears that the -v option advertised in the usage is not actually
permissible (which led to the problem I had in part 1; I kept specifying
-v in the hopes it would help me, but actually turned out to hurt).  I
have *not* fixed this problem: -v is still in the usage, but still not
accepted (but now there's an error message which clearly states that it
has no idea what to do with -v).  I don't know whether you'd like to
remove or implement -v.

Otherwise, once over that, I've been able to bcp some data in!  I'll try
some more hefty tests soon.

Thanks!
Eric
