mmm.... I discovered that only FreeTDS supports DB_QUERYOUT !!!
Sybase/MS only implement DB_IN/DB_OUT... I'd ask how they implement
queryout... perhaps with a normal processing :)

Now... remove DB_QUERYOUT and fix queryout on our freebcp utility ??
Or implement correctly DB_QUERYOUT... hard to say...
What does you mean by "recently" ??

If stuff worked on 0.82 fo maintain compatibility I would say support
DB_QUERYOUT. If not I would say remove DB_QUERYOUT !!

Bill, James, what do you think ??
