IMHO Informix >probably is not planning a port to Linux. That's not 100% correct. There exists an emulator for running SCO binaries under Linux. It's called iBCS2, check archie or the comp.os.linux groups. People told me that they can run informix on Linux, though I couldn't verify it. But there are SCo binaries running on Linux, for example WordPerfect. Klaus -- __________________________________________________________________________ Klaus Lichtenwalder, Dipl.
