Running on every everything is the goal! ;-) Anything with unixODBC installed has a shell; the same can't be said of Perl. I don't want to discourage you. If you want to contribute osql.pl, I won't object. But, I as told Peter, portability hasn't really been a major difficulty. Testing the setup and reporting useful diagnostics has been the the reason for most of the changes. See for yourself at http://freetds.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freetds/freetds/src/apps/osql?view=log. --jkl
