Unfortunately, I can't be at every site & the end users have no Informix knowledge at all (best to keep it that way for the time being!!!). Therefore, I want to package the app & install together with as little user interaction as possible. If you have script/scripts which do this on Unix I would appreciate a look?!? Otherwise, I'll persevere with the many batch scripts I'm developing. Thanks for any help you can provide.
