Oh definitely true...., IMHO. :-) > If anyone has some insight about running Informix on Compaq under True64 > (I hope that is the correct UNIX) I would appreciate it.

Well there probably aren't many sites at True64 (Tru64?) yet, but I don't think it has actually changed much from 4.0.d|e|f.... Read the release notes carefully for various kernel requirements. But then that applies to ANY platform. Once you've done that and got the server up, I think it's one of the least finicky platforms to run Informix on. Every Informix port has bugs, but I haven't found any fatal ones yet on DEC. Although I am playing safe and running 7.30 on the five servers I look after. I'm sure that if you have specific problems and post them to the list, you will get plenty of help. Cheers, -- Mark. +----------------------------------------------------------+-----------+ | Mark D.
