Hi,

It turns out that the database character set on the ASE 11.9.2 db I'm trying 
to connect to uses LATIN1.  Should I use character_set_convert or can I set 
some env to use LATIN1 instead of the default utf8?  I get messages about 
utf8 but it does connect using isql.  The make tes isn't finishing off at 
100%.

Thanks again,
~DjK
