One of my customers has a 10-year-old unisys unix system with a informix application, but no documentation whatsoever. They would like to just export the database in some form to be re-imported on a new, different system. Their database is not large, the biggest table occupies about 100'000 records. For data exchange, there are two possibilities: 1) 5 1/4 inch floppy disks 2) serial terminal connections My idea was to connect a PC to the serial line and "download" the data in some form. Is there a source for informix/PC export utilities that could help to perform this task? Thanks for any suggestions. -- Marcel
