RE: Informix / Novell Problems

I heard from friends at Informix that the whole project was a mistake. Keep in mind that this is only in reference to the Online engine for Novell. We do successfully use Online in a client/server mode over TCP/IP which coexists with a Novell network. We use both PC/TCP and Windows for Workgroups with simultaneous access to a Novell server. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Informix Premier Var -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Miguel A.
