DB conversion help

I'm looking for some help in converting a database from Informix to a proprietary DB. Essentially, I need to do a dump of our current Informix DB in a specific format, from there I can do the rest. Problem is, I, nor anyone around me, know anything about Informix. We hired a consultant a few years back to set this thing up, and anyone who knew anything about it has since moved on. What I'm looking to do, is dump the current database in a record per file fashion. Each file would contain the various fields of the record, with a keyword: prefix. Some info pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I've been unable to turn up any documentation on this, though we must have some in-house somewhere. We're running in a Dec-Ultrix environment. I've been told I'll need a developers kit, which I've also told we have for the PC. My guess is that I'll need to write some sort of program to do this. Any recommendations on some good reading material, a crash course to writing informix programs? Does anyone have a similar program that I could "modify" to fit our needs, to save me from learning the whole deal. This is a one shot effort, so I'm not looking to become an Informix guru. Thanks in advance.... -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Internet: | Fidonet: markm@zerbin.dev.cdx.mot.com | mark.montminy@f119.n323.z1.fidonet.org Motorola/Codex (617)821-7187 | The Bloom Beacon BBS (401)334-0467
