With ESQL/C available, you can write programs to do the donkey work, or crib them from the IIUG web site (http:://www.iiug.org/). I4GL is arguably even easier to use, as long as you don't need to manipulate the files. If you only have DB-Access, life is painful; you have to use the LOAD statement, which means you have to convert the files into the format the LOAD command expects. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
