Other than that, I have Solaris very very similar to Solaris (SPARC). We have upgraded one of our customers from Intel to SPARC, and the process was Ultra simple (PUN intended). We also migrated one user from UnixWare to Solarix X86, and again, found the process simple. Just be sure that you get the correct versions from Informix prior to making the cutover, and if at all possible try to do an install of the Informix products prior to the cutover date (make certain that Informix actually ships you the correct product.) Good Luck! Jim Zapapas
