If the TCP product is a problem (which actually pertains to the connectivity product, NET for Windows from Informix, then, any TCP stack that's a good WINSOCK.DLL is okay, I understand some people even have shareware (!) ) then maybe you're using FTP PC/TCP, where v2.3 introduced a problem whereas v2.2 works fine. Surely v2.2 is still on sale (it is in Australia) and I know v2.3 is soon to be updated with a fix. Please, have someone get ViewPoint running and you will be rewarded with a superb result.
