I was not even aware that a new version is out. I installed it in June and have been working with it since then for development purposes.

You must read more Informix related sites ;) Check http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/dm-0808to/ Courtesy of Guy Bowerman (Informix Application development blog) and Spokey (Informix zone). I think IDS 11.50.xC2 improved significantly the installation and demo instance configuration. Unfortunately I don't have a sexy machine to test it ;) Regards, -- Fernando Nunes Portugal http://informix-technology.blogspot.com My email works... but I don't check it frequently...
