Hi All 

 ITOF is a small Perl utility that picks up entries from your sybase
interface files  that are in TLI format 
and creates a  freetds.conf file for  you 
 When invoking the utility,it needs to  be in the folder containg the sybase
interface file 
be warned that if there is a  freetds.conf file in the same directory it
willbe OVERWRITTEN 
There is a README and a sample interfaces file 
Any bugs suggestions  do mail them in <  ShanmAbi AT exchange.uk.ml.com > 



 <<interfaces>>  <<itof.pl>>  <<README.txt>> 


Hope some of you will find it useful 

Cheers

        PREREQUISITE 
                * Perl Installation

        TO INVOKE 
                  Perl itof.pl   
                
        KEY NOTES

        * When invoking the utility,it needs to  be in the folder containg 
the sybase interface file 
        * It will create the freetds.conf file in the same directory
        * if a freetds.conf file is already present it willbe OVERWRITTEN 
        * To invoke perl itof.pl
        * Regardsless of the number of entries under a Server the query entry

                > Comments
                > Single Line Server Entries    
                > Multi Line Server Entries
        * Gives Status of each Entry Picked

        FUTURE THOUGHTS
        
        * Give a Command line option of specifying paths to the files 
        * Create a Error Log In addition to report on screen 
        * Someday I will write a bigger readme!
