And the last, how about the database (can I just change >>>into Windows SQL?) What about a diffrent UNIX? We left our aging RS/6000 & AIX and moved the engine to a IBM Netfinity 5500 (Intel) & Linux. The Netfinities are great boxes, and stunningly cheap. Obviously Linux is cheap. All our 4gl code, etc..., moved over without much fuss at all. To upgrade our RS/6000 would have cost many times as much. If you don't like Linux, there is SCO, and several other Intel Unix OS's.
