It's always a challenge to decide both what to write and what not to write. I'm trying to pull all of the documentation together and explain how it fits together, not just regurgitate manpages. BTW. Even better than the printed manuals are the Adobe Acrobat versions (*.pdf files) that can be found and downloaded from www.informix.com/answers. The big advantage is that they are SEARCHABLE!!
