Do you know if "libtdsodbc" was replaced with "libtds.so" in the FreeTDS 0.64 
package? I just installed FreeTDS 0.64 and this is the only library file I 
see that is close to the older version I had been using. Not sure if this is 
the file I should be looking for to connect to MSSQL 2005.

This is what I had been using to access our MSSQL 7 db, before we move to 
MSSQL 2K. 
[TDS]
Description             = FreeTDS 7.0
Driver          = /usr/lib/libtdsodbc.so
FileUsage               = 3
