Thank you for your quick response.  After searching through the mailing list
archives somewhat more thoroughly I found my answer here:
https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/freetds/2003q2/012505.html

However, it took me quite a while to realize this was the solution to my
problem since I was modifying my /usr/local/etc/odbc.ini file to make the
appropriate changes while my ~/.odbc.ini file was remaining unchanged (and
continued to retain to improper settings).  Little did I know that the
system first checks your ~/.odbc.ini and then /usr/local/etc/odbc.ini
(totally my fault as this is a standard method of doing things, oh well).
Hopefully this will help anyone else with a similar problem.

Also, maybe in the documentation it should be noted (in bold or something,
hehe), that .61 changed the way the servername/host variable gets passed
around between the driver and the driver manager to notify people that their
driver managers' settings must be changed after this type of upgrade
(actually, maybe I was just using strange settings that required this
modification?).  Anyways, thanks for the help...

went smoothly, however unixODBC no longer works.  The PHP on my webserver
has no problems with database connectivity, but when I try to connect with
isql I get this:

haven't changed anything in unixODBC and I copied over my backedup
freetds.conf file from 0.60.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
