| A few comments: You'll need a more recent release of Sybase than the 
| old free 11.0.3 version. There's an 11.9.2 that you can download. 

I only really need it to talk to MS-SQL 6.5 and it is working so the
11.0.3 header files seem to be enough. I also didn't want to have anything
radically divergent from the FreeTDS base, so I figured an earlier release
was better.

You are right on the money here, although once you transfer over the
Sybase include files there's a lot less to comment out :-)
