I still need to use the "old" InformixLink > to search the bugs db. Me too (it's kinda handy when you're sharing a modem and using dumb terminals). Do you know if it's possible to either a) Pause the display of huge bug reports (you know - the HUGE ones that list, in great detail, every possible combination of sar and tbmonitor (or whatever it's called) for every user on a 700-user machine) or, even better, b) STOP the display of huge bug reports. (Ctrl-C or something would be nice) It's *REALLY* annoying plowing through the thousands of lines of bug report at 2400 baud!! (Note: *Our* modem goes faster than that - Informix's doesn't) > When will the free text search be available thru the www? Amazing isn't it - wouldn't you expect them to be showing off their *DATABASE* to Web interface? Really big flat files aren't exactly leading edge technology anymore... ------------------------------------,------------------------------------------ Kerry Sainsbury, kerry@kcbbs.gen.nz | THE INFORMIX FAQ v2.4 Oct 95 Quanta Systems, Auckland | kcbbs.gen.nz:/informix/informix.[faq|apx] New Zealand.
