Re: Informix 7.3x Server agent extremely unreliable on NT

Sorry if you took offence, but I was being serious. With KDE you can have a GUI like your used to (no long filenames). The fact that you can only do certain things when logged in as a certain user has definate security benefits and you can use something like kedit instead of vi. BTW, if you press the escape key, followed by ':q!' vi will exit without saving ':x' vi will exit and save any changes (There are other ways too). If you like I can email you a copy for NT so you can practice.

No, I wasn't offensed (as well as I also believe that my problem is a NT security problem - you shouldn't mess with NT security - it strikes back), just a joke, but I really don't like Unix, sorry.
