VCafe doesn't use the CLASSPATH setting by default. Read your README notes that came with Cafe. I don't have mine handy as I'm interstate, but IIRC you need to alter the classpath in sc.ini. The details are in the README file, though. I went through this with Oracle's type 4 driver, so it's safe to say that VCafe should work with Informix's once you get the CLASSPATH right.
