These patches where part of OpenLink's effort to add Sybase 12 support to 
the FreeTDS project. In this new version Sybase has increased their 
column_flags to 32bits as part of a new token they now use for column 
information.

Due partially to time constraints on our part, as well as some major 
architectural changes to the FreeTDS project, we have not been able to 
merge our patches back into the current CVS tree in order for us to provide 
you with a set of diffs to add this new functionality. I have set some 
time aside to see how quick these patches can be merged back 
into your current CVS tree.

I am willing to work with you, Jim or Brian to resolve these issues and
will answer any questions you have on any patch we send you.


Best regards,

Patrick
