Summary : Re: Importing a tab delimted text file?

First of all, thank you thank you thank you. A number of people have reponded to my question regarding Importing text files with tab delimiters into Informix. I, still being entrenched in the world of PCs had looked in the manuals for the index word "import" and never thought to look under "load". Apparently, Informix does have many such utilities - dbaccess, dbload, dbimport not to mention the simply LOAD command under ISQL. Thanks again folks.
