Please see http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/stable/FILES for an 
explanation of the released files.  If that's unclear, I need to make it 
clear.  ;-)

(I'm not sure what you're referring to.)

Yes, but not for 0.82.  In 0.91 (upcoming) or a current snapshot[1], the 
utilities have all been modified not to require -U and -P.  In 0.82 I would 
guess -U '' -P '' would work, but I haven't tried it.
