It is so ancient and out of date that it no longer figures in the life-cycle documentation -- that's how old it is. OnLine 5.10 was the Y2K-safe version of OnLine 5.x; 5.11 and 5.20 succeeded it in turn. That's why they are still listed. But 7.22 was never Y2K-compliant, so it would probably have dropped off the list about 3 years ago, maybe even longer than that. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2003.04 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
