This happened with sql and fglgo and even embeded C-sql programs. I never did see the problem resolved but, that was a year ago and I've been working in different Unix environments since. Perhaps if we had used the 486 Informix versions it would have worked better? -- +- Bill England, wengland@stephsf.COM -----------------------------------+ | * * H -> He +24MeV | | * * * ...
