i dont know anything about what i need, but i know what i would like:
i want to be able to run a bcp upload into the sybase running on my
mac. and i want to be able to run isql from a command line. (thats
actually not such a big deal, mostly i want to script the upload load
via bcp or somethimng similar)
what should i download?
or should i abandon this line of enquiry?
cheers

Where is your source data? What created your source data?
If your source data was created on a platform that bcp is
available on, why not just run bcp there and connect to the
ASA running on Intel Mac?
The only thing to be careful of is if your source data was
created with bcp, you must be sure NOT to use the native "-n"
mode when transferring data between different operating systems.
The native "-n" mode stores data in an operating system specific
format. If you are transferring data from one operating system
to another, it is suggested that you use the "-c" character mode:

In terms of running isql from the command line, there should be no
problem with that.
If you used the GUI installer to install SQL Anywhere, the software was
installed to /Applications/SQLAnywhere10. You can launch dbisql from a
Terminal either by using invoking startup script
/Applications/SQLAnywhere10/System/bin32s/dbisql
or by setting your environment using the script sa_config and running
the binary:
source /Applications/SQLAnywhere10/System/bin32/sa_config.sh
dbisql
(If you used the command line installer and did not install to the
default location, substitute the folder where you've installed SQL
Anywhere for "/Applications/SQLAnywhere10" in the examples above.)
