All, 

FreeTDS 0.60pre3 may be found at:

  ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/ALPHA/freetds/freetds-0.60pre3.tgz

This is a prerelease version.  It still exhibits the 0x0f cancel
processing error, which we have to fix before 0.60 can be finally
released.  But it has substantially all the functionality we were hoping
for, plus quite a bit more.  The prerelease tarball does not include the
UG, but it it posted on www.freetds.org.  

It's early in the day in London and Italy, where so much FreeTDS has been
lately done.  But it's quite late in the night here in New York, too late
to compose a real announcement.  

The User Guide has been updated, corrected, and otherwise massaged.  It is
the work of many people.  My thanks especially to Bill, Brian, and Nick
for their updates and corrections.  

Please note that as previously discussed, configure's defaults have
changed:

        --prefix=/usr/local
        --sysconfdir=/etc/freetds

Please make install and make merry.  Bug reports eagerly solicited,
patches even more so.  

Regards,
