I looked at it, and it doesn't specify which shell to use at the top. You might have a go at adding #/bin/ksh at the top. You using (t)csh on either of these boxes? %following create database sqlcode -956, isam code 2. % %Database setup incomplete. % %which seems to be a different error! "finderr -956" explains this. The problem would seem to be that your Slackware box doesn't recognize your IRIX box. The real pros here can correct me (and will, no doubt), but I should think you'd need to add the same port in your services file on the IRIX box as on the Slackware box. In any event, it sounds like a network configuration problem. As to the -957 error, you're supposed to complain to Informix's tech support, but I'm guessing that they'll tell you you're not supposed create or try to access an NFS-mounted database. Kurt
