I really need to get ODBC working to my Win98 client PC. I've been trying to get the SCO/Informix-7 Sorry, but we (SCO) don't do an SQL-Retriever (ODBC driver) port for Linux - various people have tried (and there are a fair few who like Linux and would love to see SQL-R on Linux and have tried it in their spare time!), but to no avail. I understand the main stumbling block is the streams mechanism. Allan > OpenLink drivers working but no luck yet.
