Well, the old products need their old runtime environment, strictly. Specifically, the error message files moved from $INFORMIXDIR/msg to $INFORMIXDIR/msg/en_us/0333 with the 7.2x products. Ideally, your old programs should be run with the original 4.12 I4GL products installed in a directory which is used as INFORMIXDIR by the I4GL programs, with the relay module being the only variable that points to the new INFORMIXDIR. > To check that every thing is installed ok, we have made a new test > program and compiled it under Version 7.3 compiler and > informix-list@iiug.orgchecked that it runs O.K. and does not give any > error. However, you can probably also get around it by creating a series of symlinks from $INFORMIXDIR/msg/en_us/0333 to $INFORMIXDIR/msg.
