Good suggestion.  Will do.

Thank you for the problem report, Glenn.  

I found it a little hard to see the problem from the log excerpts, and I
would like this resolved in time for the release.  I happen to be at a
phase in my own work where I'm using freebcp a lot and I haven't noticed
any problems.  If there's a problem in its error reporting, I want it
fixed.  

Could you post a script that creates a table and a data file, then bcps
in the data and queries the table?  If you then run "script yourscript"
and attach the script and the script(1) output, I'm sure the problem
will be clear.  If the problem is clear, I can promise quick resolution.


Thanks,
