-* Design of the Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, and TDS Data Providers in Mono
-
-	<ul>
-		* After much discussion among the Mono ADO.NET developers,
-		  we have come up with the design of implementing a Sybase, Microsoft 
-		  SQL Server, and TDS Generic ADO.NET providers.  These providers have
-		  been created and are actively developed by Tim Coleman.
-
-		* Since Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server databases both 
-		  use the TDS protocol for data access, and other implementations 
-		  of TDS (FreeTDS and jTDS) have included support for multiple 
-		  versions of the TDS, we have decided to do the same.
-
-		* The TdsClient ADO.NET provider will be Mono's first provider 
-		  written completely in C# without any dependencies except 
-		  the usual suspects: corlib.dll, System.dll, and System.Xml.dll.
-	</ul>
-
-* New ADO.NET Providers
-
-<p>There will be three ADO.NET providers that will use TDS.	
-
-		<ol>
-		  <li><p>Mono.Data.SybaseClient namepace and assembly will 
-		  hold the ADO.NET provider for Sybase SQL Server database.  
-		  This provider uses TDS version 5.0 which 
-		  can only be used with Sybase databases.
-
-		  <li><p>System.Data.SqlClient namespace and System.Data assembly 
-		  will hold the ADO.NET provider
-          for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0/2000 databases.  This provider is to be 
-          compatible with SqlClient in Microsoft .NET and uses TDS version 7.0 
-          which only supports Microsoft SQL Server 7.0/2000.  
-          There is TDS version 8.0 
-          which we will need to support as well, but it is used for 
-          Microsoft SQL Server 2000 databases.
-
-		  <li><p>Mono.Data.TdsClient namespace and assembly is a generic 
-		  provider for older TDS databases.  This provider will default to 
-		  using TDS version 4.2 which can be used by older Sybase and 
-		  Microsoft SQL Server databases.
-		 </ol>
-
-* Building The New Providers
-
- <p> All three providers will use common internal code 
-		at Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal.  Any classes in 
-		Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal will have the internal 
-		keyword and will be built with the assembly of that provider.
-		<ol>
-		<li><p>SqlClient will build its assembly System.Data using files 
-		  from System.Data, System.Data.SqlClient, System.Data.SqlTypes, 
-		  System.Data.Common, and Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal.  
-		 
-		  <p>SqlClient 
-		  will only reference the usual
-		  suspects: corlib.dll, System.dll, and System.Xml.dll. SqlClient will be 
-		  a wrapper around TdsClient.Internal, but provide specific functionality to
-		  Microsoft SQL Server 7.0/2000 databases.
-
-		  <p>SqlClient build example:
-
-<pre>
- mcs -target:library -out:System.Data.dll \
-   System.Data.SqlClient/*.cs \
-   ..\Mono.Data.TdsClient\Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal\*.cs \
-   [any other classes in System.Data assembly...]  \
-   -r corlib.dll -r System.dll -r System.Xml.dll
-</pre>
-
-		<li><p>SybaseClient will build its assembly Mono.Data.SybaseClient using 
-		  files from Mono.Data.SybaseClient and Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal.  
-		  SybaseClient will reference
-          the usual suspects plus System.Data.dll  SybaseClient will 
-          be a wrapper around TdsClient.Internal, but provide specific 
-          functionality to Sybase.
-
-		  <p>SybaseClient build example:
-
-<pre>
- mcs -target:library -out:Mono.Data.SybaseClient.dll \
-    Mono.Data.SybaseClient\*.cs \
-    ..\Mono.Data.TdsClient\Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal\*.cs
-    -r corlib.dll -r System.dll -r System.Xml.dll -r System.Data.dll
-</pre>
-    
-		<li><p>TdsClient will build its assembly Mono.Data.TdsClient 
-		  using files from Mono.Data.TdsClient
-          and Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal.  TdsClient will reference the 
-          usual suspects plus System.Data.dll  TdsClient is a wrapper 
-          provider around TdsClient.Internal used for generic
-          unit tests.  TdsClient will a wrapper around TdsClient.Internal 
-          as a generic TDS provider 
-          and allow TDS configuration options not exposed in SqlClient 
-          nor SybaseClient, such as, TdsVersion will be exposed in TdsClient 
-          but not in SqlClient nor SybaseClient.
-
-		 <p>TdsClient build example:
-
-<pre>
-mcs -target:library -out:Mono.Data.TdsClient.dll \
-    Mono.Data.TdsClient\*.cs \
-    Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal\*.cs \
-    -r corlib.dll -r System.dll -r System.Xml.dll -r System.Data.dll
-</pre>
-		</ol>
-    
-* Classes in Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal will:
-
-	<ul>
-	<li>use the internal keyword to prevent exposing these classes
-          to the System.Data.dll assembly.
-          
-    <li> implement the ADO.NET interfaces just like any other ADO.NET provider, such as,
-          IDbConnection, IDbCommand, IDataReader, IDataRecord, IDataAdapter, etc...
-          
-    <li> be sealed just like other providers
-        
-    <li> provide features to be directly used by the SqlClient and SybaseClient 
-          providers, such
-          as, setting the default TDS version: SqlClient to 7.0 and SybaseClient 
-          to 5.0 and TdsClient to 4.2.
-          
-    <li> be written completely in C# or IL assembly language (if need be).
-        
-    <li> implement the TDS protocol version 4.2, 5.0, 7.0, and 8.0. This 
-          is where most of the
-          work will take place.
-          
-    <li> be an internal ADO.NET provider to the public ADO.NET providers:
-          System.Data.SqlClient, Mono.Data.SybaseClient, and Mono.Data.TdsClient.
-	</ul>
-
-* Implementation Details of the TDS Protocol
-
-	<ul>
-		* will be implemented in pure C# from scratch
-		
-		* will reside in Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal  
-		
-		* will use FreeTDS and jTDS as rerferences.
-	</ul>
-
-* More Information
-
-	<ul>
-		* <a href="http://www.freetds.org/">FreeTDS</a> is C API that implements
-		the TDS protocol.  Has libraries for tds, ctlib, and dblib.  It builds
-		and runs on Windows, Linux, and other platforms.  FreeTDS provides
-		data access to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases. 
-		
-		* <a href="http://jtds.sf.net/">jTDS</a> is a 100% Java JDBC provider
-		for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases.
