7.20 4ge programs won't run on 7.32

I'm trying to move some 4GL programs from SCO to Linux. The SCO version that is currently running the compiled .4ge programs is Informix 4GL 7.20 UD6. I've copied the .4ge programs to my Linux box which is running Informix 4GL 7.32.UC3, but I can't run any of the programs. I don't have the 4GL source code so recompiling on the Linux box is not an option. If I try and run a .4ge program from i4gl I get this error: -825 Program not found. No supporting executable file could be located. The file should have existed in the directory that the INFORMIXDIR environment variable names. Consult the person who installed the IBM Informix software. If I run it from the command line I get this: $ txmenu.4ge -bash: ./txmenu.4ge: No such file or directory I can compile a small test program on Linux and it runs main display "Hello World!" end main Is there anyway I can get these .4ge programs to run without recompiling?

But wait, there's some hope: iBCS is your friend. However it hasn't been maintained/stopped working/whatever for quite some time, and it always had issues with tcp connectivity anyway. Wander to my Informix on Linux pages to see how to do it. You might be lucky and find that it still work (although I doubt it) -- Ciao, Marco ______________________________________________________________________________ Marco Greco /UK /IBM Standard disclaimers apply!

Almost certainly not using 7.32 -- but you might get away with installing the 7.20 4gl compiler on Linux. Tech Support will just laugh, I'm sure.
