Works for me, Steven.  I looked it over pretty closely.  The only oddity I
saw was that dage should probably be declared as DBREAL; depending on your
architecture, that might matter.  

I didn't see any viruses ;-), so I compiled and ran it.  I got "I64", too.
One difference: I'm using current CVS.  I don't know of any bug we've fixed
related to this since the release, but I'm not running the very same
binaries you are. 

Any chance you're compiling with Sybase's headers and FreeTDS's libraries?
That would yield unpredictable results, if it worked.  

BTW, is sqsh linked to FreeTDS, or Sybase's libraries?  Just curious.
