I have a date tomorrow to run a DBEXPORT on a SUN Sparc to create a tape that I then must read on my NT4.0 Server. I'm planning to use the MKS Utilities for NT to read the tape. It has been a long time since I used Informix or Unix. Can some nice person out there please give me the syntax to key in to create the tape as a CPIO or TAR archive output from the DBEXPORT command. Many thanks, Bob Moore rsmoore@airnet.net

Following on from other mails. If you have pkzip on the NT box it can understand compressed tar files from Unix. This may well remove any issues with MKS. Regards Sean Robert S.
