Frediano and all,

Thank you for the long term hard work.

I wish there was a way to convey the quantity of work sitting on the 
shoulders of a solid FreeTDS implementation.

Without being able to measure the benefit you may not know the gratitude 
deserved.  It’s surely a staggering amount.

Dave Jacopille
