There is little if any performance benefit to running 64-bit I4GL over 32-bit I4GL - though equally there is very little harm in it, either. One issue might be any C code you integrate into your programs. Unless it was written with 32/64 portability in mind, you are probably better off staying with 32-bit. Pros (of 64-bit): * Can use shared memory connections. Cons (of 64-bit): * Executables are likely to be a bit larger. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2005.02 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
