For various reasons, they are considering dumping SCO and switching to a System V Release 4 UNIX, such as Dell. The question is, will they be able to directly use the Informix products (which are all version 4.0 or 4.1) on the Dell platform, without having to "upgrade" -- ie are the binaries and libraries compatible (or could they be converted)? (I don't think the company has maintenance with Informix). -- Pete -- Pete Miles uaa1006@dircon.co.uk ...uknet!dircon!uaa1006
