Need NT executables of popular IIUG software packages
Folks, In looking at Google groups, I see that many of us are still struggling with compiling on Windows systems some of the best esql/c programs from IIUG. Things like Leffler's contributions, Art's stuff, tx_split (I REALLY WANT this!). Because many of these programs come from UNIX, you need an ANSI-compatible compiler, and it's a real hassle trying to get anything other than MSVC compilers to work with ESQL/C on Windows systems. I have been trying to get some of these packages to work for years with no success, and I'm sure other Windows Informix users have the same problems. So here's what I want to do. If you have compiled any of these packages (especially dbcmd, ak_utils, tx_split) for NT, send me a copy and I'll post them all on the www.dbasurvivalguide.com website for anybody to download. If you're the author of any of these contributed packages and know of an NT port, let me know. Also send me an email giving me permission to post the executable. (I won't post any of the executables without the original author's permission). If I can get more of these NT executables, maybe all us Windows users can stop having nightmares about mingw and gcc ;-) Joe Lumbley
