Your choice - but most machines outside the Windows world have Perl as standard (which platform doesn't?), and Activestate makes it easy to install Perl on Windows. I think it will be easier to port the Perl code to other platforms than the C code. That's only a semi-informed opinion, but if you are determined to roll-your-own C code, then look at whether the Apache Portability Runtime (APR) library would help you. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2005.02 -- http://dbi.perl.org/ sending to informix-list
