You should only need I4GL on the box - it includes what is needed from CSDK. You would have to set up the sqlhosts file, of course, but that's all. If that really wasn't working for you and you are sure you had a good install of I4GL, we need to know... -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2003.04 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
