RE: A hypothetical hack

Yes, but in this case you can't do any sort of hack. (Think about what you're asking ;-) My suggestion would be to first consider if you are in a position to upgrade your existing hardware. If not, then lease new hardware for month(s) or a year, migrate your data to your new system where you will have international character sets, and then migrate back. Of course you'll need to increase your disk space... > Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:58:20 -0500 > From: art@oninit.com > To: tgirsch@gmail.com > Subject: Re: A hypothetical hack > CC: informix-list@iiug.org > > Thomas J.
