My suggestion is keep up to date or use another library (like ODBC, for
example).
There was very good reasons to remove this structure from TDSSOCKET. New
method is register a callback to receive all errors.

Simply use libtds 0.60 shared library and build your application with
whatever license. If you include source you have to release under GPL/LGPL
(I'm not very sure)
