Thanks for the reply. I'll compile on an Intel Mac and then use the lipo tool.

I wanted to use FreeTDS the proper way (integrated with my project),
but in the interest of time for the project, I was way overwhelmed
with the complexity of FreeTDS and database connectivity in general.
Once I found out that I could use tsql as a tool to connect to a
specific server, I just used a bunch of NSTasks to run the commands I
wanted within the Mac app. Sloppy and ugly, I know, but it's been
working fine since last May.
