Only awailable via their web page at http:\\\\www.sco.com And if you don't have media (a CD-ROM), or can't get it from someone, you pay for that, something like US$20. :>For testing you can also get a trial version of Informix OnLine for :>this platform. It's the same Informix OnLine 7.x you allready have, :>just ported for SCO 5.0.x : How? This is something I'd love to do. We have been able to get test versions of different products from Informix in Norway. They have a formal program where you pay a relatively low price to get the product for say 3 month's for purely testing purposes. If you decide to buy it after that, what you payed is deducted from the price of the product. If you do not buy it, you pay nothing more (and stop using it of course). This kind of deal may not be generally available. You have to ask your local Informix office.
