This is under consideration for a fix in a new release sometime soon. Contact your Informix sales rep, and tell them to get the information about your needs for large size C-ISAM files to me -- more business case never hurts in these matters. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.95 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
