RE: Porting from SCO Unix to AIX

Hey Mike, that is what "Open Systems" is all about! We do this all the time! We are the Informix distributors for the Caribbean and we have done this at least 12 times from SCO to AIX (RS/6000). All you have to do is to copy everything (frm, arc, 4gi, dbs, etc.) to the AIX machine, load your new Informix and run it. You won't need to recompile them, but if there's a newer version of Informix (i.e. 1.10 to 4.0) it's better to recompile before running the applications. In our office we develop using 4.0 on the RS/6000, but some customers have 1.10 under SCO and everything run perfectly! YES, IT'S THAT EASY. +--------------------+----------------------------------------+ | Eric C.
