I'm using a Fedora Core 8 and normally use the "Package Updater" to
update my system. But after I faced the problem I don't know where I
read that the latest version was only available through CVS. That's why
before sending a report I downloaded the latest source code via CVS,
recompiled and tested again. The info I sent was taken from version
0.82. The last change in the ChangeLog was "Wed May 21 23:51:21 EDT
2008    JK Lowden <jklowden AT freetds.org>". AFAIK this should be the
latest versión.
I'm completely new to TDS, but I'm profficient at C programming, so if
I can do anything to help just let me know ...
Bye
